I worked in some ex-USSR government facility, and they had an old hp-9000 system, that needed ram upgrade. HP wanted some ridiculous thousands of $$ for like 16MiB of RAM. After some inspection it was discovered that the RAM is nothing more than 72pin SIMMs. We took some ram from nearby old 486 and it worked.
