power for VK204-24-USB

Can the VK204-24-USB get power for the display from the usb cable or does it need an additional power connection? If it does need additional power, does it need the modified or standard floppy cable? The docs weren't very clear on this.

Thanks,
Wiley

The VK204-24-USB will require additional power supplied via an unmodified floppy power cable. This cable will need to be attached to the white connector on the PCB. The reason for this is because the start up current required for the VK204024-USB is more than the USB port can handle.

Thanks.

I was concerned because the sheet labeled "Important: Read this page first" that was included in the box states "Do not under any circumstances use an unmodified floppy drive power cable." The manual however, said to use an unmodified cable.
