[Soekris] +5V power on Net4501

[ralph@ralphsmith.org]

I drive a GPS 18 LVC using pin 10 of JP3, the COM2 connector.  This is no
substitute for proper specifications, but it has worked well for me, and I
haven't let out any of the magic smoke.  The 5V on pin 10 is not in the
manual but is confirmed by Soren here:
