We consider vacuum solutions in M theory of the form of a five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein black hole cross T{sup 6}. In a certain limit, these include the five-dimensional neutral rotating black hole (cross T{sup 6}). From a type-IIA standpoint, these solutions carry D0 and D6 charges. We show that there is a simple D-brane description which precisely reproduces the Hawking-Bekenstein entropy in the extremal limit, even though supersymmetry is completely broken.
