Subject: Headware Memory

SR3 increased active memory of "standard" decks by 6-20 times.
SR3 increased storage memory of "standard" decks by 5-10 times.
Cranial Cyberdecks use headware memory as both active and storage memory.
According to Shadowbeat, Optical Memory Chips are the same size
regardless of storage capacity with a possible implied limit of one
gigapulse (Which, according to shadowbeat is equal to 1,000 gigapulses.
;).

In the interest of not screwing over decker-types and adding a hint of
consistancy to the above, I present this revision of Headware memory for
SR3:
Essence Cost: .1 per 100 Mp or fraction thereof.
Cost: Mp times 150 nuyen
Availability: Always (ever hear of a computer store that didn't have
memory SIMMs and/or hard drives in stock?)
Street Index: .8
Legality: Legal

This gives you memory in your head but does not give you I/O access to it
or any form of processing power (ie, consider just implanting headware
memory akin to disconnecting your hard drive from your computer and
setting it on your desk.).

This approximately divides the essence cost by 3.

This (or something similar) has probably been done or considered by
others, but I thought I'd post anyway. :)
