Jameco still sells these

That would be perfect, except that it seems to be too small. The
compartments are only big enough for a 16 pin DIP. For a 72 pin
simm, I need compartments that are more than 4 inches long.

I have found that index card (3" x 5") files work well for storage of small
parts. I put SMT components in coin envelopes, which are easy to label and
inexpensive. Also, such card files can often be found very cheap or free,
at places like libraries that are converting to computerized indexes. If
you can find some cassette tape cases, they might be about the right size
for your components. You can use aluminum foil to wrap the components for
static protection.
