John,

It's nice to see positive responses about my company's products.

I assume you are using our FM24C04.  This should be completely drop-in
compatible with EEPROM I2C 24C04 parts.  I am very curious to know exactly
what changes were necessary.  Were the code changes only to take
advantage of the fast write time of FRAM?

I realize that this may be good performance for a(n) EEPROM, but
you should see ZERO errors in 10 billion cycles with our FRAM
products.  I'd like to know the details of how you are accessing the
FM24C04 (temp, reading/writing pattern, voltage, etc.).  Are the 4
errors you've seen hard errors or soft errors?  I'll forward your info
to our QA department; they're very interested in your experience.
