I am most concerned about how we will need to power the device on. Are we expected to do the paperclip trick?
That would be good to know. There are adapters which have a switch if KNC isn't going to use the 24 pin connector. I have soldered plugs with the "power on" circuit permanently closed and I just buy PSU that have a mechanical switch on the back of PSU. Same thing as paper clip trick but a little more secure and convenient.
