Edit: Just to clarify: You can update the shutter setting (or ISO) via USB and fire the shutter via the serial remote. Fred B made this change for my project... not sure if it's documented though. You can also use bulb below 1/30 s for faster turn around.

thanks colin. how much different is a 'serial adapter' to the shoestring DSUSB adapter? they seem like pretty much the same thing to me.. each just triggering the shutter via remote release socket while exposure settings are set via normal USB (which DSUSB does not replace). the shoestring just has the USB-to-Serial bit built in?
i do have an old serial shutter release somewhere that i could try but functionally they seem almost identical?
