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.

+ space with only a single additional wire, while still needing

+ The devices are physically on a different buses but will always
+ 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
+ many busses as devices must be wired. The size of each chip should
+ be provided as members of the array.
