also for the record.
The early variant of the 310i I have now has clearly support for 5 Volt
antenna output. Easy to measure.
I can install currently three different driver versions under vista, all
with different gpio configuration. The one for testing the 5 Volt switch
for now is with the original driver CD from 2005.
Unfortunately, it has also these always changing gpios, like the TS
interface is always on, but the voltage switch is no problem on vista
with that old XP driver. Other stuff is ...
dmesg from mine.

BTW, not totally unrelated, the recent NXP Creatix driver for the Medion
Quad (CTX944) does support also 13 Volt on the second DVB-S device now.
Another problem we still have to resolve.
