I ended up jerry-rigging the ROM SIMM in place with a couple small diameter toothpicks (preferably square than round) and a lot of Scotch tape. It works okay until the ROM SIMM decides to slightly shift position or the tape loses some of its adhesive ability, then you are back where you started. I was tempted at one point to just solder the damn thing in place. }:) But even that was too scary, especially when you consider how many contacts you have to solder small wires to and swapping out the ROM SIMM socket for the more "permanent" configuration.

You could try and also experiment with hot glue to see if it will provide a more secure method, yet still allow you to remove the card, should you need to. Just a thought. ::)
