I would think so. (also just an educated guess based on the
assumptions that they have similar DOS versions...)

IIRC the 75161 is the control lines driver (ATN, NDAC, ...). This
would be the one that would cause a hang. However, I'd rather
measure the input/output signals to check what's wrong before
unsoldering any other ICs.
