What I meant was, if discrete transistors could be used, a small cube
of which would equal a Pentium II in transistor number, it would be
possible to make a Pentium II box to plug into an XT in 1982. Of
course, I hadn't considered at the time I said it that it would be
very slow, and speed is the main difference between an earlier
machine and a Pentium.
