Some of the confusion about this machine surely stems from the fact that HP offered an official hardware upgrade for the 400 chassis to PA-RISC. It consisted of a normal 700-series mainboard with some mechanical bits changed for fit. Then the machine became like what you see here. The DOMAIN keyboard port would not be retained, though I suppose it's at least possible that the cutout and label are still there. OTOH it's entirely possible somebody took the chassis later and returned it (unofficially, keeping the upgrade badge on the front) to 400-series guts, in which case it is a proper 400-series with all the capabilities and limitations one would expect. Regardless of what the chassis looks like, or the badge says: if it has a PA-RISC processor, it's still a 700-series. If it has an MC68030 or 68040, it's still a 400-series. ok bear. -- until further notice
