Can anyone check this method for determining whether your Modi 2 Uber has the new 4490 or not?

So if the Modi is recognized by your computer without its power being on its an old version (bus powered). Mine is only recognized when I switch the Modi itself on (self powered) -> new 4490 version
So I tried this method on my M2U that was purchased last month. Can anyone with an older Modi 2 Uber cross check this method to see if its valid?
Thanks.
