Okay, here's a stupid example ... CD-ROM to Cassette Stereo kits for cars.
Also, in our world a "driver" is a piece of software, not hardware. Also,
in so far as a audio resampling is concerned, that is technically what an
amplifier is doing to an audio track ... including an MP3...

I also think the CED is yet *another* example of a piece of cyberware that
sounded really cool but was *NOT* thought out really well and in places like
this list where we can tool-&-burn our way through stuff longer, the
problems and associated loopholes arise.
