 **Pulling high pin 22 of the ZIF42 socket will turn on the transistor on the pod, which in turn will provide 5V to pin 22 of the ZIF24 socket**, pin 12 is hardwired to GND, and pin 24 to VCC.
 
+Some old PAL/GAL devices require more current than the switching via pin 22 can provide. In these cases, close JP1 to bypass the transistor and provide 5V directly.
