Probably. The card itself is the same controller that's used for the 760MB

I believe that the DN3500/4500 disk/tape/floppy controller is a WD7000-ASE. The ASC
controller has only floppy and SCSI capabilities.

If the 010104 board is a PC bus card with a Daughter board strapped on, it is will work
in the DN 3/4xxx machines with the monitor.

The 40 or 80 plane color board may be worth something, as are the CPU's, Memory,...

I wish we could afford to scrap our 10K for a 700 series!
