piggybacking
1. A method for passing acknowledgement frames and data frames in the same
direction along a line.
2. The practice of increasing memory capacity by soldering chips on top of other
chips. The chip-enable or high address pins would be connected to the address
bus by a flying lead. Many Ohio Superboards were expanded to a massive 8K of RAM
in this way.
