chopping off chip to fit RAM module in BPPC

[orange]

I'm thinking about using sand paper or similar to 'reduce' edge on one of chips in 128Mb RAM module.
you can see here the problem area which prevents RAM fitting in BPPC slot (near FDD).
Since most of that black plastic chip housing is just for protection, it should be safe to remove it partially?
(at least the bit that doesn't lie in center plane)

Use the plastic wrap belt solution.It has worked for many,

and what would that be? holding the module in place with plastic belt instead of the metal 'hooks'? sounds unreliable, what if it comes loose? the turbo card might get damaged..

or buy your self some low profile ram modules. They are dead cheap on ebay.

I couldn't find any; at least not the large capacity ones needed for OS4.

er, do you have any photo of that plastic tie holding the module?
