RE: [OT] iPad query...

Actually, I agree with Kevin. I'll see if I can add some protection
for
that. The issue is that the protection has to survive the 2A that your
potential supply is going to provide and at 5V that's 10W to dissipate.
Maybe it is better to just have a USB port and at least then you will know
that the input is more likely to be at 5V.

Good feedback guys. Keep it coming and I'll design this the way you want
it.

Sounds about par for the course with anything though - stuff the wrong
tranny up it and byebye. Solution - don't stick a wrong tranny up it. :-D
