Ah, I see

please try this patch. In my test program. It passed.

Thank you,

What I meant was this:

1. Read page x from chip 0. It goes to dataRAM 0 in chip 0
2. Read page y from chip 1. It goes to dataRAM 1 in chip 1
3. Read page x from chip 0. Now the read incorrectly comes from
dataRAM 0 in chip 1 because that was the last chip selected.
