FRAM != RAM

Guess what: <http://www.ramtron.com/doc/AboutFRAM/Default.asp>

"FRAM offers features consistent with a RAM technology, but is
nonvolatile like a ROM technology. FRAM bridges the gap between the
two categories and creates something completely new -- a nonvolatile
RAM."

Parallel FRAM looks pretty much exactly like SRAM from the system's
perspective; it is a drop-in replacement. e.g. <http://www.ramtron.com/
doc/Products/Nonvolatile/Detail.asp?ID=12&gr=6> is a direct drop-in
for a 62256 32Kx8 SRAM.

Not that the OP isn't on crack, of course, but your statement isn't
absolutely right, which is why it irked me to see it advertised as
such.
