I purchased an FM16W08 (for the CAL RAM) and a pair of FM18W08 for the user 
data RAMs.  I'll use 28 way SIOC to DIP adapter PCBs and will wire up the 
FM16W08 so it looks like a DS1220Y.

Subject: Re: [volt-nuts] 3458A NVRAM

FYI,

Ramtron was acquired by Cypress Semiconductor. I've had trouble finding some 
FRAM parts, but that may be changing as Cypress scales up production.

Also, watch out for fraudulent parts on ebay. I've ended up buying a couple 
things that were bad, although not ramtron parts.

Anyway, Keep us posted on the FRAM upgrade. I'm curious how it works out.
