No, that should not be the case. The USB controller for the SuperCard Pro is a separate entity from the rest of the board components. You can remove J1 and still talk to the board (the CPU just won't respond). The USB driver is active and it shows up in the USB list (and COM ports if you have the drive set for LOAD VCP).
What could be the problem you saw has to do with trying to launch the SuperCard Pro software before closing the updater program. That would generate a message that the board can not be found because another program (the updater) has locked the USB port.
