@bitsavers There are multiple factors that limit the number of writes that FRAMs can handle: changes in crystal structure as Ti ions replace O, mobile ions collecting at grain boundaries, and something to do with 90º domains.

@kenshirriff @bitsavers it's not really infinite since the endurance was probably reached in Marc's DRO. The fram was used by the readout to give the illusion of an absolute scale, but I believe the integrated fram that failed was updated too often (maybe every scale tick).
