[...] I see that George highlighted a Micron datasheet in other parts of this thread, and I noticed it uses the term "shared page." That explains why I couldn't find the word "pair" in my quick search of Micron datasheets! So I guess "shared page" would be a nomination, though I'm certainly not forcing it, if you think pair is better. Brian
