The Common Memory transfer to or from the
CompactFlash Memory Card can be either 8 or 16
bits.
The CompactFlash Memory Card permits both 8
and 16 bit accesses to all of its Common Memory
addresses.
The CompactFlash Memory Card may request the
host to extend the length of a memory write cycle
or extend the length of a memory read cycle until
data is ready by asserting the -WAIT signal at
the start of the cycle.
