I don't think they make any FerrUPS anymore.  Those were based on a 
massive ferroresonant transformer which, yes, is very sensitive to the 
input frequency.  Specifically, they don't like generator power, unless 
it has extremely well regulated frequency output (such as a DC generator 
with a digital sinusoidal converter)
