Hi Jerry,
The address shifting happens when the hardware guys put down (2) 8-bit flash chips to be 16 bits wide, (4) 8-bit flash chips to be 32 bits wide, or (2) 16-bit flash chips to be 32 bits wide. Size, timing, availability, and cost reasons usually drive this (and the first three are weighted very low).
Ah, I see.
Back when we had to subtract two '1' bits to make '0's, flashes (actully, EEPROMs to really show my age)
Apparently age and 'curmudgeonliness' go well together
