  I've been using run-of-the-mill tin-leaded SIMMs in two I^2 machines
over the past four years.  No problems yet.  YMMV.

  I assume you've gotten the top cover off?  If not, remove it.  If
you can't figure that part out, you suck. ;)

  There's a flip-down metal door over the cards.  Grab the horizontal
part of the door (the part that's folded over and about 5/8" wide) and
lift it slightly.  Now fold the whole door down.
