The "e"'s do have a connector for a Apollo keyboard. The "e" or rather
425e (since there isn't a 400e or a 433e) has a Domain boot that seems
to work as normal, so it should work...

Both 400's running under HP-UX and DomainOS should be able to use
all three serial ports (with a fanout cable). Under HP-UX, the
first port goes through the 16550 and the other two go through the
utility chip. Under DomainOS, all three go through the utility
chip.
