  No. The HP9000/7xx SIMMs look, smell, taste like
PeeCee RAM, but they are
 different. You need the very special, propriatary HP9000 SIMMs for that
 machine. 
Sometimes you just have to cut a trace or two and/or add a jumper or two;
for example here's how to convert a standard SIMM for use in an HP LJ:

I did the same sort of mod to use standard SIMMs to expand memory in my
Toshiba T3100e.
