     On opening up my A2000 case to clean out my drives, I noticed that
my motherboard said it was BOTH a 6.0 and 6.2 motherboard.  Let me explain:
     I purchased my system used a few months ago w/ the impression I was
 purchasing a 6.2 system.  When I opened the case, the motherboard said
6.0, but next to it, a sticker that says 6.2 on it.
     My question is, is this how all 6.2 motherboards are identified or
am I unique (hustled by the seller)?
   
     An Amiga guru told me by email that I probably have a 6.2, because it
takes time for the manufacturing process to switch over to start etching
6.2.  My question is though, that if they take the time to revise the 
motherboard, wouldn't they take the time to make the simple change so that
the motherboards stamp out 6.2 instead of 6.0 at the same time?
 
     If anybody can help answer my dilemma, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks ahead of time
