SPI can be done any any set of 3 pins (assuming a CS)
Best would be to use the same 2 pins for CLK and DATA and then seperate
pins for CS for each device (thats how the ARMweb does it). This would
allow quite a few devices. If you find you need more parts or to chew
up less pins, a 74HCT138 to turn 3 lines into 8.
