0x12 =3D 18, so this is a Mariah CPU (as
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/linux-vax/kernel-2.5/include/asm-vax/=
vaxcpu.h?rev=3D1.6&view=3Dauto
tells). The m90 is IIRC a NVAX implementation, so your box is a wrongly
labeled 4000m60.

You've got a KA46, not a KA49.

This information looks consistent with the KA46 Mariah CPU in the case,
so it's probably authentic.

It is.

Looks okay. The ROM identified the machine as a KA46, as will do NetBSD
and Linux.

/me too :)

I guess that this sticker was just wrongly attached...
