These are date code/revision stickers.

Kathmandu was the code name for the A1416A.  If that is in fact
what you have you should see a number of the form A1416-665??
or A1416-695?? etched on the board somewhere.  The backplate
should also have A1416A printed on it.

This board is functionally equivalent to the 98550A (Catseye)
with a few improvements.  So it's a 1280x1024 8 plane (plus
2 overlay planes) 60 Hz vertical refresh display.  It's a basic
framebuffer with additional offscreen memory and some block move
hardware to help things like text scrolling.  A very nice board
in its day and not too shabby even now IMO, although I occasionally
wish the refresh rate were higher.

The catseye driver works fine with it.  The xterm I'm typing this
into is being displayed with one right now.
