If you are using the rules in Shadowtech, then, no they do not load
instantaneusly(sp?), just alot faster than if they are in the chip slot.

@ Ray.

To counter the chip slot problem get a SPU. My character did and
every on thought that I was wasting my time (and essence). If
nothing else it proved useful when the GM was contemplating plugging
one of those reprogramers into my characters datajack. We came to the
agreement that the SPU acts as a connection between all I/O systems
including datajacks,chipjacks,skillwires,headware etc etc etc. Hence
turn off SPU no access to relevant hardware, but at the same time
interference by others plugging in unwanted chips etc can be stopped.

Anyway back to the comment, Rays right the skill wires plus only
work faster, from what I understand in SR access times have become a
mote point, it is data transfer that is more important.

Btw, Is it only myself or does some of the mail seem to be
getting lost. I don't remember seeing the start of this thread? ;).
There again I could have been asleep! ;)
