Is their logic in a USB port? I don't think so. I suggest 'functionally'.

Mister MicawberIs their logic in a USB port? I don't think so. I suggest 'functionally'.
My thinking was along the lines that the device "connects" not so much to the port as to the machine as a whole.

I think "functionally" does a better job of "filling the blank.
