Nope.  Just try it.  May work for some ADCs/DACs but certainly will 
not work for all of them.  Multiple Writes may work, but I could 
never get multiple Reads to work.  The interlocking nature of the 
status flag logic seems to get confused.  Appears to be pretty much 
limited to handling only 8 bit contiguous data.

If they changed this on the other CPU versions to handle 16b words, 
well I guess that tells you right there that this SPI must only do 8b 
data.
