Cliff, Cliff, the -400 is the same. The current airspeed box goes amber when you hit minimum maneuvering speed and you get an AIRSPEED LOW EICAS message. My last PC the CA said you can start the recovery then but for the longest time it was ignore those warnings, wait for the stick shaker.
Maybe we could get Hersman to make a recording for the warning system:
"Your .. Air .. Speed .. Is .. Low."
