Go to Sheldon Brown's website on Cassettes and Hub body compatibility. All the info is there.

it fits on mine
I've been running a Shimano 600 hub (don't know the year) with SRAM cassettes for a couple years. I actually had to spread the frame from the original 126mm spacing to get it to fit.

Shimano 600 was the group that became Ultegra so the hub could be either 126 mm and 7-speed or 130 mm and 8/9/10-speed compatible depending on it's exact manufacture date. In fact, the first 600 hubs took freewheels IIRC.
