[volt-nuts] 3458A NVRAM

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.

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.
