The 400's were 50Mhz 030's because Moto didn't have the 040 out in time.
As soon as the 040's came out, the 400's were upgradable to 425's or 433's
depending on what speed of 040 you put in it... People typically refer to
the 040 bearing 400's as either 433[ste] or 425[ste].  In any event,
the FAQ is misleading.  The 433's and 425's are supported except for the
433e and 425e due to missing display code.  This might be addressable soon.
