I'd be interested to hear if it works with serial and ethernet adapters.

Me too; and what appl you used. £26 would be a snip if I could use the
iPad in a data-centre to config the kit.

It's fine with canon raw (cr2). Don't know about other types

Ah, hadn't got as far as looking at the app yet :-D - iSSH is ssh only.

Might have to investigate finally writing one myself.

I have yet to find a keyboard which works with mine. The two I tried
cause the iPad to complain about the connected peripheral drawing too
much power. The ones I tried were an older MacAlly USB keyboard and an
Apple Pro keyboard (circa 2002). I don't have any more recent USB
keyboards handy.

I have one of both (Keyspan USB adapter with D9M, and Apple USB Ethernet
adpater). I'll take them all to work tomorrow and see what happens.
