Apple IIgs 1mb memory expansion to 4mb conversion

In the past a post to comp.sys.apple2 referred to this site: http://www.apple2gs.republika.pl/ which documents how someone converted a common 1mb apple memory expansion card to 4mb using 30 pin simms. Recently, I also found another guy who did the same thing but not using 8/9 chip simms http://www.apple2pl.us/ .
