I was being broad minded @ 7mm....

6.5mm with a ruler here & no spectacles on, but I rounded up to 1/4" (7mm) for ease & the USA still being largely Imperial....

But yeah, 4mm raked over at an angle is not clever. - Having said that, I'm surprised the Type 2 Slim Jim modules are doing the same?

Here's Micron Data Sheet on 72Pin SIMMS. Measurements @ the bottom of the page.

I guess your SIMMS are more modern variants. Lets not forget, the Amiga 1200/4000's were using 32Bit 72Pin SIMM Technology whilst Mainstream PC's were still on 30pin 16Bit Technology.
Perhaps the PeeCee Industry fudged things along the way, much like IDE/SATA got called SCSI when employing RAID.

Sounds a bit cruel, but it appears you need some 0ld0r Style modules fella.
