A method is provided for accessing a memory device having pages by a memory interface that does not directly support page accesses. A first memory space of the memory interface is configured with a first set of timing parameters and a second memory space of the memory interface is configured with a second set of timing parameters. A page mode access is initiated to a page of the memory device using the first memory space of the memory interface for at least a first data transfer and continued using the second memory space of the memory interface for a plurality of data transfers.
