[TowerTalk] Parallel Connections

[Grant Saviers]

Powerpole blocks/strips exist for 4 to 12 positions so each one jumpers 
2 "poles".  You can get the insulator in many colors so that could 
provide encoding of the plugs.

Or make a "super block" 8 wide by 12 position from individual poles 
using the PCB pin.  Soldered bare wire jumpers for each "pole".
