Depending on the size of the object, Cranial components may be an
option. With standard components and a little creatve rearranging, I had
one decker/rigger character with both a drone deck and a cyberdeck. His
cyberdeck was nestled into the hollowed out pages of a hardcover edition
of _Neuromancer_. The drone deck, likewise, was hidden in a copy of _Zen
and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance_.
