A combined hoist and skinning apparatus which is readily assembled and disassembled in the field for use and transportation. More particularly, the invention is related to ferroelectric memory cells wherein the ferroelectric capacitor is positioned directly on top of a contact plug. The EEPROM driver and noise and signal degradation prevention circuitry reduces signal noise andor signal degradation and driver circuitry for programming, monitoring, and downloading information to and from the EEPROM devices. An optional layer of crystalline \u201cpure\u201d MgO may be located between the MgXO layer and the FePt recording layer and in contact with the recording layer, or between an underlayer and the MgXO layer.
