Is the new USB based SX-Key going to be powered from the USB port only or will it need to be powered from the target device like the original SX-Key?  If it is powered strictly from the USB port should we make sure that it is on it's own powered USB hub?  The reason I ask is that I've run into a couple odd issues where a particular USB port on a laptop wasn't able to supply enough power to the target USB device.  This caused some odd/flakey operation of the USB device in question.  Once I added a powered HUB inline with it then it made quite an improvement.  Don't know if this will be a problem with the new key or not.

I'm still using my Serial SK-Key (and will keep using it) but may want to get one of these new USB versions for my other computer system once they are ready.
