   I don't
think it's the connector, but it's junk if it isn't anyway, so I might
 see. These things screw in place and the fit was tight getting it out so it
 would boot again, so I don't think it wiggled. Still, would be nice to know a
 source for spares because it seems like others on this list have had similar
 problems with theirs.  
 It might be possible to transplant DRAM ICs from other SIMMS onto the Tadpole
 memory modules to refurbish them. 
I think that's possible, but it would need someone with better soldering skills
than I've got. I draw the line at surface mount; I've wrecked boards before,
and this module has 18 Hitachi DRAM chips on it (parity).
