B+ on JEDI accessory connector usage?

Hi All.

I have an application where it could be helpful/less complex to power up a peripheral from the B+ line on the Jedi side connector.

I've looked at the service box schematic and any other info the I could find on The Google, but I can't find a decoder ring that will describe the means to enable it. Having PTT through the accy port at the same time would be ideal.

Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks All.

Will

The line has a current limiting resistor in it, so you can not power much of anything. IIRC it is used in flashing.

Might not be a problem. I'm just trying to power a small microcontroler board off it, so even 100ma might cut it.

Correction, 40ma would be enough.
