Don't worry, the 5V usb will work fine - it is what the shoestring USB cable uses.
It was only yesterday that I received that technical response from synta regarding the true nature of the mount interface changes made for the AZ-EQ6GT and EQ8. As soon as I knew I posted to the EQMOD group and SGL, Robin copied that info here. I have yet to update the EQMOD website but as it stands the advice still provides a good default stance as the 5V ftdi device will work with all mounts whilst the 3.3V device will only work with the AZ-EQ6GT and EQ8 (and its yet to be tried in practice).
