Actually, it's more than that.  For this search:

depth   score    time   PV
11(6)	48	T=204	Qa7...

You have a depth of 11 PLUS *six* plies of hardware depth.  So a total depth of
_17_.  That seems to be about the average depth of most of their searches.
That's a bit beyond PC programs.  And we know they were extending probably more
than PC programs also.
