   I'd switch the two previous blocks around, so that you first set up the   
   channel and then set the file name.

   >             ldx  #<(flashend+1)  ; Low byte of (end of memory block + 1)   
   >             ldy  #>(flashend+1)  ; High byte of (end of memory block + 1)   
      
   The high byte should probaly only increment, when the low byte is $ff.   
      
   >             jsr  SAVE            ; Perform save   
      
   >             lda  #$08         ; Logical file number   
   >             jsr  CLOSE        ; Close the file   
      
   Looks good to me. Perhaps it will work with the first mentioned change?
