I wired my output circuit to P6_4 (Digital Output 1) and it works fine (so I dont really have a problem, thanks everyone).
The FIRST pinout lists these modes for the digital pins:
Quote:
All digital lines are configurable
− Open-drain input
− 5kΩ pull-up input
− 5kΩ pull-down input
− Active drive output
...o 4mA current source
...o 8mA current sink

My original question was whether the digital outputs are were configured for sinking or sourcing in compatibility mode. However, after looking over the FIRST doc again it appears the answer is both and my question was somewhat misguided. The FIRST Doc reads like the mode is Active Drive Output and that mode is capable of both sinking (8mA) and sourcing (4mA). I can't confirm this from my experience, all I can really say is it looks like Digital Out 1 is capable of current sourcing to the base of an NPN transistor in my circuit.
