I think he is simply alluding to the fact that 110 film used an image of 13 x 17mm, approximately the same size as 4/3. Pentax had no part in developing the 4/3 digital camera system.
For that matter, Pentax had no more involvement in the development (no pun intended) of the 110 film format than they did of the 35mm format. Kodak was, AFAIK, solely responsible for the 110 film format. It was introduced in 1972 as a follow-on product to their highly successful 126 Instamatic format.
Pentax merely developed their own Auto 110 SLR to use that film format. I remember the ads for the Auto 110. It was marketed to people who wanted a quality camera that they could carry around in a briefcase or purse.
Minolta is the only other camera maker I know of who made a 110 SLR. Were there any others?
