I'm in the process of buying all the support junk (you know, all the minor little things like power supplies, tapes, communication equipment, terminals; nothing important :-) for a new UNIX system. We're looking for an uninterruptible power supply. I'd appreciate hearing _anything_ anyone has to say about particular manufacturers or models, or about generalities. If you have one (or more) of these beasties, would you please tell me how to contact its manufacturer (so far, I've gotten info from exactly one manufacturer)? Basicly, our minimum requirements are that it be able to handle a 3.5 KVA (Kilo Volt-Amp; that's what everything I've seen is rated in) load for 10 minutes, and that it have some sort of interface to the computer it is powering, so that it can warn the computer that it's about to die. Highly desireable characteristics include small size, cool operation, filtering, and, of course, good price. Thanks! Brent -- Brent Chapman chapman@mica.berkeley.edu or ucbvax!mica!chapman
