The connector's not the best, but it is at least offset to one side of the opening meaning original, full-sized RAM expansions could only be inserted one way. If modern expansions at least made the PCB the same width, it would only fit one way too, but I guess they're more interested in reducing costs or making them small for other reasons.

Cool, but don't throw away the old one. It's possible that it can be repaired, or that at least some of the parts might still be useful to someone.
