Well, sure, but for what? Yeah, I have a device or two that has that sort of
outlet as part of the cable, but not with a female plug that could go into the
UPS.

But I did pick up four converter cables, and the UPS is now working just fine.

Sure. Mine has 4 battery protected, 2 without. I only bought 4 cables, and am
currently only using 3. I figure the non-battery-protected stuff can be
plugged into my surge protector that does some form of power shaping.

Regardless, I think my desktop is reasonably setup, now. The UPS makes me
feel a bit safer about the equipment, even if, obviously, it wouldn't help
much with a direct hit.

Though I also managed to buy a UPS that doesn't have a way to auto-shut-down
the computer. Which is unfortunate, but hopefully irrelevant. Depends how
much I keep it on while I'm not at home, I suppose.
