 BTW, I've seen a few non-name SIMMs with dry joints
between the
surface-mount chips and the carrier board. Resoldering those was an
...
 entertainment...

Probably more on-topic for this list is a 30 pin SIMM that I have in my
...
 spares box. It's 256K*9, using pin-through-hole
chips (normal 41256 DRAMs
...
 in 16 pin DIP packages). It does use the normal SIMM
pinout AFAIK.

Those are adapter boards to convert old DIP DRAMS into SIMMs.  I
did a bunch when 1MB SIMMs were $50 each.  There are still
places that sell them, JDR in California for one.
