| 1. A storage device comprising:
a flash memory array containing a plurality of memory cells, wherein at least two configuration bits are programmed to said
plurality of memory cells; and
a controller for controlling said flash memory array, said controller comprising at least one configuration pin,
wherein said controller supporting a plurality of interface channels for connection to an external host,
wherein said controller is operative to select one interface channel from said plurality of interface channels, such that
if a value of said at least two configuration bits is from a first group of at least one predetermined value then said interface
channel is selected at least in part according to voltage levels measured at said at least one configuration pin,
whereas if said value is from a second group of at least one predetermined value then said interface channel is selected at
least in part according to values of said at least two configuration bits.
