Scary looking hardware mod to V20?



While poking around with the Altavista search engine, I found this web site:

http://www.fastnet.ne.jp/~tosihara/smocom/pc3kaizo.htm

I went to http://babelfish.altavista.com and plugged in the URL and selected
Japanese -> English.

It looks like a page with an experimental modification to replace the 80C88
with a V20 chip.  The very thought of having to build up the little nestlike
cluster of jumper wires to bridge to the new CPU looks downright scary.
This hobbyist must have the steady hands of a surgeon...  I wish that the
site had more pictures.
