Now, to make this on topic, there have been memory module converters before.
For the Amiga 3000, which used exotic ZIP (not the moderately common SIPP)
modules, there have been SIMM->ZIP converters for a long time. Our hardware
guy said he would try to build one for our next meeting, so that we may get
some use out of our newly-restored A3000. Similarly, it is possible to wire
72-pin SIMMs into 64-pin ones (used on GVP equipment and certain Macs and
addon boards). Why shouldn't it be possible to make SDRAM to SIMM adapters?
