Describe two new memories modes:
- A stacked mode when the bus is common but the address space extended
  with an additinals wires.
- A parallel mode with parallel busses accessing parallel flashes where
  the data is spread.

+      This basically means that either a device features several chip

+      act synchronously as each data word is spread across the
+      different memories (eg. even bits are stored in one memory, odd
+      bits in the other). This basically doubles the address space and
+      the throughput while greatly complexifying the wiring because as
