Macintosh: Using IBM PC SIMMs

Can I use IBM SIMMs in a Macintosh II? The SIMMs are the same size as Macintosh SIMMs and are rated at 80ns. The only real difference is that they have a parity bit. Will this extra bit cause a problem or can the Macintosh just ignore the parity bit?
The memory should be compatible, the parity chip will be ignored by the
Macintosh. We would not expect any damage if the SIMM is incompatible, the
machine just won't work.
