[hpsdr] Pinocchio issues

[Bill Tracey]

Phil Harnan's suggestion of putting the hook up loops for the power 
leads on the opposite side is a very good one -- I know from painful 
experience the FPGA does not react well to -12v on a data line.   I 
was crushed when I came to the realization I'd blown the FPGA and had 
to remove and replace it -- ugh -- dicey work for sure.
