Neat little 420VA UPS which uses and older style serial connection. Still very much useful of you have equipment that uses serial. Newer units do have USB but not really totally necessary if you’re using with older equipment. Definitely recommended if it fits your use scenario.

If you need a small, *non-rack-mounted* UPS for use with Point of Sale applications or home entertainment systems, this is one of the most inexpensive models that you should consider. While it does not offer a lot of output capacity (only 260 Watts / 420VA), that may be enough for your application. 5 to 20 minutes of runtime, depending on the connected load may be enough. Check this one out!
