I found the special USB port was not able to power the D10 reliably at all. Its not a matter of current capability, the D10 only draws about 150mA once its running, any USB port should be able to deliver 500mA, but maybe there is a peak draw at the moment of powering up that causes the USB port to go over current and shuts off the 5v. The built-in ports worked fine, but somewhat defeat the object. I ended up using an iDefender and iFi PSU, but its an extra $100 I shouldn’t have needed to expend to get a working rig IMO.
