Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Although I just went and asked a hardware support person and there
is a question as to whether more than one is "supported". Regardless,
you can use 2 display cards in the 4xx s (s for deskSide). The deskTop
models 4xx t only have room for one display card.

Yes (I know, and it does). I run an HP 360 with a 98548 (1280x1024 mono)
and a 98549 (1024x768 6-plane color).

You're welcome.
