Also how does a data filter work, it turns you into in AV recorder- and
edits out your memory of the event, if with this you can record sensory
data straight into headware memory why would you need other things like
cameras (I've often wondered about the limits of cyber memory, do I need
a sim rig or can I just expierience something and record the event in
cyber memory).

Headware memory is just a hard drive stuck in your head, just storage space.
There is no interface to your brain. A camera eye can write to the memory,
and if you have a display link, you could display the contents of the
memory. Otherwise, you would need to hook a display unit or computer
through your datajack to get it. So I guess you must also have a datajack,
or in 1st. ed. a data link(?), in order for the data to ever get out of your
head.

One other thing concerning a softlink. I think you can download a softlink
chip into your headware, then stick a different chip in your socket. But
there might be an additional load delay when it accesses your headware
memory. In fact, the delay may be too long to use the chip quick enough.

One thing I don't understand is how you issue the commands. I would guess
there is a special connection in your brain to use certian cyberware and you
train yourself to use it. For instance, how do you "unsheath" your spurs?
Do you just think about doing it and is happens or do you have to twist
your arm a certain way. I would say

Try using the Encephalon it allows the brain direct access to all
internal memory and functions. And also allows you to use a softlink
stored in your headware memory with a delay though.
In our game the makers of the encephalon have started developing software
so that you can take full advantage of the unit. Some of the software is
designed to incorperate several of the users augmented senses to give them
greater abilities.
