right, but the address lines of the chip have to go somewhere.  if they go to 
the part which you connect to via JTAG, and that part allows for wiggling of 
its lines via JTAG, you can talk to the chip.  this is how we do it on Blackfn 
boards:
[parallel flash (CFI]) <-- data/addr --> [Blackfin CPU] <-- JTAG --> [USB 
FT2232H] <-- Linux development system --> [urjtag]

urjtag wiggles the Blackfin's data/addr lines that are connected to the 
parallel flash chip
