Indeed one of the SIMMs is bad.  Annoyingly this halves the amount
of memory and the memory bus width in the box.

What are my chances of replacing the faulty SIMM?  Can I just
substitute any other 72-pin FP-DRAM 8Mx36 (32MB ECC) 60ns SIMM, or
are all modules required to be exactly alike?  SIMMs of this general
type are still available at somewhat unreasonable prices I guess,
but finding one that shares exactly the same organization and God
knows what parameters seems unlikely.

(The SIMMs in place are physically double-sided, with a total of
24 Siemens HYB514100BJ-60 chips from 1997.  There's some sort of
warranty label, but I can't identify the vendor.)
