Subject: 'Credit card' size chess computer...

It's odd but about fifteen years or so ago I was convinced that by now we would
have a 'credit card' size chess computer of good county strength play or
greater.
However I was less convinced of our having a grandmaster strength program, let
alone the then world chess champion losing to a chess machine before the end of
the twentieth century.
It would be interesting to know how strong today's best programs would be if
they were re-written to run on say an 8 bit 6502 or Z80a CPU.
How much of today's chess program strength is reliant on hardware and just how
much improved are their algorithms to yesteryears?
