I'm pretty sure you could contrive to do it one way or another. You'd have to cut film to the right width, put the right perforations in the film, load the cassette, and set the cassette so that the camera recognized it as unexposed or partially exposed.
The only thing I'm not sure of is whether or not the more sophisticated cameras like the Minolta Vectis or Canon EOS-IX use the data written to the film electonically to determine camera operation. If they do, it likely wouldn't work in those cameras. I still have my Contax Tix and the Canon EOS-IX with a couple of lenses. And about 100 rolls of Kodak Advantix B&W and Fuji F100 film in the freezer. Excellent cameras, they make fantastic photographs.
