I ran across a similar case some time ago, and I wish I could remember how
we solved it... Let's see, it was a character with skillwires nor chipjack,
but with a datajack. He gets a Linguasoft from somewhere, and wants to run
it. Look it up in SRII, the only chips you can plug into a datajack are
Datasofts (though if anyone ever tries to do that I'll probably tell them
"no" anyway). What I think we did was say that he could plug the chip into
his pocket computer, and plug the computer into his datajack, but we gave
him the SLD every time he wanted to access the chip, instead of only when
you just plug in a new chip.
