I still have the 4 4M 30-pin SIMM's that I spent

If you want to talk about SIMM's that are rare as hens teeth, how
about the 128M 72-pin SIMM's? I managed to get ahold of either 2 or
4 of them for my one AlphaStation 200 4/233.
This morning I wondered if it wouldn't be possible to reuse older
smaller density memory modules like SIMMs by creating a carrier card
that held multiple smaller density modules On most machines I've
seen, there's enough physical clearance for something larger than a
SIMM so you could create a carrier that held 4 32 MB SIMMs so that you
could have something that the machine would think was a 128 MB SIMM.
It would look god awful ugly, but would do the job! In fact, I've got
these IBM 300XL units piling up in my basement from the work purge
that could use such a technique to get a few beefy ones cannibalized
from the pile.
