The 3000/300 also has an integrated video, I believe (the same as in the
3000/500).  I have a 3000/400 and it's got a little switch next to the
DECconnect serial console plug that sets it to use the serial console
(note that the serial console is only attached to that serial port).  I
am pretty sure that I didn't have to remove the keyboard/mouse "assembly",
and I'm positive that I didn't have to remove the TC video in order to get
the serial console to work on my 3000/400.
