Making a Dongle - Pin 1 help

Hey-o.... I'm trying to make a dongle for our system.

Joe Johnson's dongle whitepaper shows the Disable pin and pin 1 being switched to ground (with the more-channels pin permanently shorted). An LED is lit up through Pin 1. IFI doesn't list anything about Pin 1. I'm assuming that Joe found out Pin 1 supplied an output voltage of some amount, and so he used that to power the LED. But, that dongle whitepaper is a few year(s?) old. So, my question is this: does pin 1 on the competition port still supply an output voltage that you can use to light up an LED?
