these hard to get 30 pin RAM chips.
I've seen SIP modules made out of SIMMS with bits of wire soldered to the
tinned pads. Of course, it really wasn't a pretty modification. I've never
seen the pins available anywhere, but a company like Mouser Electronics or
Digikey might stock something suitable.
If you are handy with desoldering, you could always retrofit a board with
SIMM sockets instead of SIP sockets. There might be SIMM sockets available
with pins that would fit into the SIP socket too.
