Getting data from a 16-bit bus is very similar to the 8-bit bus. You simply change the PS bits of the CSCR register for the chip select and connect the 8 extra data bus signals. The memory map for your module is found in this document:
C:\Nburn\docs\platform\Mod5234.pdf
You can use any section of memory that is declared "Unused"
