Well lots of people have said a big fat NO!  But I always love when you try
anyway ;)  It worked fine with no problems whatsoever in an Ultra2.    The
best response was from Dave Edick:

>Generally speaking, no.  The modules are the same pinout, but most of
>the modules shipped for SS10's were 80ns access time and Ultras need
>60ns memory.  The modules being sold nowadays are 60ns and work on
>either system.  The real answer would be to check the modules you have
>and see which speed they are.  This can be told by looking at the part
>numbers on the actual RAM chips themselves.  If they end in -8, they're
>80ns parts and won't work on an Ultra.  If they end in -6, they're 60ns
>parts and will work in an Ultra.

THanks to all of the other people who responded.
