Tried both, neither does anything useful, but the iPad doesn't complain
about them so they aren't trying to draw too much power.

I wouldn't expect the Keyspan USB serial adapter (mine is model
USA-19QW) to do anything without an application able to handle it. Its
green light doesn't come on, which means the serial port is not open.

The Apple USB Ethernet adapter doesn't power on its Ethernet interface -
a connected switch or computer reports that the link is down.

Mice? Do some applications support mouse input?

Actually, I have a USB to serial adapter somewhere. If I can find it I
will give it a try and see if it is possible to open the port

I asked Apple Support can RAW Images be imported direct and keep the
RAW format they said NO they are converted????

I asked can they be imported directly into Aperture NO you have to use
iPhoto so I nevr bought an iPad.....

If your saying RAW images can be imported and be imported into a Mac
Pro then I am interested at buting one....

Can you please confirm that you can import RAW direct and get them off
the iPad in original state....

Cheers
