There was a hrrible thing called fake parity
memory. It stored 8 bits and
calaculted the parity bit on a read (ignored the incoming parity bit on a
write) to keep the memory controller happy. Of course you can't store 9
bits in that type of device.
Of course you can, as long as the bits you're storing agree with the parity
of the 8 bits...
