A knowsoft requires the datasoft link. So, to speak using a ligua soft, or
use a chip for Science skill, you need it. A display link shows you info,
such as a map, or even a dictionary or such. So, for instance, with a
knowsoft, you could speak a languae, with a Display link, you would scroll
thorugh a list of words in a language to language guide.

I have alllowed a player to have a "mini" kit in his cyberarm, instead of the
