There was (is?) a scam some time back during which computers would CLAIM
they had cache when, in fact, there was less cache than reported, or none
at all.  I don't know if this is related.  Might want to verify the in-
tegrity of the COAST modules.

Also if you KNOW the size of the cache, perhaps you can tell the BIOS
to just kind of DTRT.
