Heck, you could wire as many as you'd like in parallel, as long as the 
motherboard's fanout is great enough.

The disadvantage to the hack using the 040 is that you only get 256k per 
side - with a /CE hack, it is theoretically possible to get 512k per 
side, given that you have a big enough flash chip.

Also put a pull-up resistor on the /CE of both flash parts so that when 
the switch is not selecting one of them, the /CE line is not floating.
