SRAM PC-48 8spd chain

I found an old SRAM PC-48 8-spd chain in shrinkwrap which was certainly from my 1995 Marin Team 8spd MTB I had for the longest time. Can I use that PC-48 on a 9spd MTB? (so long as it's long enough), the box doesn't mention it..

Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

No. 9-speed cassettes have narrower cog spacing than 7/8-speed cassettes and require a narrower 9-speed chain.
