startling thought.
Check the Smiling Bandit's comment on the bottom of the page. According
to that, an Encephalon will multitask your cognitive needs. Well, the
word "multitask" stuck in my brain for a moment and I got to thinking....
Could an Encephalon multitask multiple strings of input or output through
more than one datajack?
Real Life parallel:
I have an MSDOS system. It is single task in nature. I can
really only have one thing happening at once. One modem running.
If I install Windows, I can multitask several application (well,
it isn't REALLY multitasking, but I don't want to argue the point). I can
be printing and editing and have had two modems operating at once.
I also have LINUX installed on a partition. This is true
multitasking and have had 30 or 40 processes running at once. Some
compiling, modems modeming, games playing, etc etc.
So, what would happen if I had two datajacks installed, maybe each
with it's own I/O SPU. Could I conceviably be running two things at once?
(heh, run the matrix with TWO or more cyberdecks) Heh, imagine once guy
with 10 datajacks running 10 cyberdecks with 10 "people" in the matrix.
So the question is, is something like that conceivable?
