No.  FPM and EDO dimms are not interchangable.  In fact, you might not 
be able to use "standard" DIMMs on the machine, I'd bet you'll need to 
get memory for that system.  IBM likes to invent their own memory 
pinouts and use the 'extra lines' for things.  Oh, and I almost forgot 
to mention the 40 bit wide modules used in some Microchannel RS/6000s.

Memory shows up on ebay for about $20/128MB, which isn't too bad IMO.
