There is no EICAS on the 400. The engine instruments also come in two versions, analogue and what I call 'half-glass', the older analogue easier to read in my opinion. With the 200, EPR is the top row replaced by N1 on the 300 onwards. I see wrong identification more than I should in the Sim and rushing is the common cause. Never rely on yaw if the engine is surging and just take your time reading the dials. As in all accidents there were many factors in the Kegworth accident including poor communication with the F/A's.

Looking at the fuselage break in the Hawaii ditching it makes me smile to read the ditching drills in the manual. You can't learn everything from books, sometimes you have to make it up as you go along.
