digital wolf somewhere in the forest before it got to grandma's SR list.

While I was at work today tirelessly performing my oh so dull and boring
jog, my mind wandered into SR things and got hopelessly stuck in a mire.
IOW, it's time to open that big bag o' questions again.
1) A physad(SR2) with Armed Combat of 5, Improved Armed Combat of 2, and
wielding a force 1 weapon focus knife in one hand and a force 3 weapon
focus knife in the other attacks Joe Schmoe. What dice does the character
roll, ignoring combat pool?
2) When a character uses a datajack connection to operate a normal
computer, what exactly does she see/feel/hear/etc?
3) Being that I don't like Physical Magicians as they are written (don't
like the spellcasting/conjuring and whatnot), what would be a good way to
increase the physad's natural abilities for Priority A in Magic? My gut
reaction is to give them two points worth of abilities for each magic
point. Would that be too powerful? Should it only be x1.5?
4) How much essence would an external cyber-smartlink cost? That is, using
normal cybernetic smartlink headware and connecting to the gun via a
datajack and fiberoptic cable instead of the standard palm-induction
thing. My best guess is 0.3 essence.
5) I was making a metahuman physad (SR2) with a gear requirement of about
20,000 nuyen and got stuck. Priorities A and C are tied up in Race and
Magic respectively, however that leaves the only option for resources as
priority B with a whopping 400,000 nuyen. That's a bit excessive for a
character who only needs 20,000. I came up with the following compromise.
Instead of A-Race, B-Resources, C-Magic, D-Skills, and E-Attributes, I
created her with A-Race, C-Resources, C-Magic, C-Skills, and E-Attributes.
Technically that's against the rules but it seems fair to me and solves
the finances problem for the character. Did I miss anything that would
unbalance the character?
6) What do other listmembers use for melee combat with two weapons?
