   While installing new sims in the SE/30 where I work, I managed to
bust the little tab-things off the lower (eighth?) sim mount.  I am using
an eraser I've wedged between the sim in the broken slot and the next
higher slot to keep everything in place.  It worked for a while.  But
lately we've been having system lock-ups and the SE occasionally plays that 
nice memory error music on startup.  Comp. Services on compus says that 
a board replacement is the only fix (i.e. $300).  But someone told me 
there is a company who will replace the sim mount for less money.
I would like to make this fix a cheep as possible for the office- I 
feel bad enough for busting their computer in the first place.  Any
advice or info would be greatly appriciated.

Thank you, 
Brian
