[volt-nuts] 3458A NVRAM

[Dan Kemppainen]

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.
