Arjen and DJ,

Thanks for your insights. The overall conclusion I was headed for was that in designing your page allocations, it's better to think in terms of functionality rather than physical devices as a basis for deciding whether to start a new page or continue with another frame.

It also seems as though a software upgrade that allowed jumps to individual frames would eliminate this issue, and also significantly expand the storage capability of the device (hint hint).

Cheers,
Philip Brandes
