FWIW I see lots of 4869s around here. Most are

them are 1.2 Mb and the others are 360K.
ANY REASONABLE, RATIONAL, RESPONSIBLE, OR SENSIBLE company would put the
asterisk on the new type of drive, to differentiate it from the old type,
since it isn't possible to change the old ones that are out there, but
relatively easy to institute a marking convention for the new ones.
BUT THIS IS IBM!
Therefore, the * drives are the 360K!
