The Series 400 will, indeed, run Series 300 software.  It is based
upon the MC68030 and MC68040 processors, depending upon model.  
Series 400 systems can be ordered to run either HP-UX or Domain/OS,
so they serve to unify the hardware for Series 300 and DN-series
users wishing to move up the performance ladder.

HP-UX continues to support DIO cards, but new graphics systems are
used.  The graphics libraries are compatible, though.

Systems range from the 12 MIPS 400DL at $4990 U.S. list price, to
the 25 MIPS 433S, starting at less than $20K.

Hope this helps.
