    Yup. The PIC has banking and paging built in... 256 words per page & whatever dumbass number of bytes per bank that they dream up...

    It's a delight, let me tell you.

    Especially since you don't have direct access to the complete program counter, but only the lower 8 bits... I hadn't appreciated that in addition to the wonderful PCLATH register there'd be a UPCLATH or whatever to add yet more bits...
