Answer to some of your questions. ESDRAM is a speciality memory for the high end of the market. One memory it goes toe-to-toe with is SRAM. A simple rule of thumb; ESDRAM is about twice as fast as DRAM and half the cost of SRAM. The EDRAM makes a 486 preform like a Pentium.

Considering the speed of FRAM. Have you ever seen a car drive past a toll booth on a toll road at about 40 MPH and not stop to pay. Well he has a smartcard stuck to his windshield. With FRAM, you can pay the toll on the fly--that's the advantage of its speed. Now go on, Get out of here!

I read the PR on Racom today. This is their second contract for an assembly line applicaiton of FRAM. The PR explains how Honeywell will use smartcards to improve productivity: "data integrity and system reliability are expected to increase, while downtime, typically associated with failed, centralized processing, decrease." I believe Racom is on to something here. Anytime you can show economic benefit, customers will set up and take notice.

What's ironic, everybody thinks NAFTA is shipping jobs overseas. Looks like FRAM will be taking some of them too. Can you believe it, Honeywell's assembly's plant in MN only has two human operators. Maybe we can get the brother a job there, at least he'll have someone to talk to.
