Yeah... I wonder if that's a hardware limitation...

Well, that defeats the purpose... and I'm almost positive that powering a sensor
port with 9v is a bad idea.

I dunno. Is it possible (I'm still in gr12 physics) that a circuit designed to
drop the voltage could be sensitive to having a much greater draw on it like
that? After all, the intended load on the active sensor ports is an LED.
