That is not true in this way. You can run NetBSD with a color card
installed, but you have to switch the machine to serial console with
the small switch at the back next to the serial ports. "up" is for
serial console, 9600 8N1, on the _printer_ port. I run my 3100M38 this
way.

Yup. When you pull the color card, the machine will revert to b/w.
The signal is on the same connector, but on different pins. You will
need a different cable than the one for color-to-monitor.

See above.

Just use a MMJ-cable, with a converter MMJ-DB(x) on the other end, if
needed. If you don't have an MMJ cable, I should have the pinout somewhere.
At least here in Europe it is still possible to buy the connectors and 
crimp tools that digest MMJ as well as RJ45 and RJ11.

As others have said, don't waste time with the TK50. Netboot.
