4MB onboard disk cache size, as opposed to the 2MB and 8MB disk caches,
more commonly found today. SCSI drives of this era offered 4MB cache
when the IDE world was stuck at one (or maybe two) MB.

My "hotshot" (but, as yet, uninstalled) real IBM 36GB 10Krpm drive
has only a 4MB cache. But it was a good deal at the time..... ;-)

(I've got waaaaaaay too many good deals still uninstalled around here).
