(SR3) Size of a cyberdeck, Challenge for those who know too much Options

[Seven-7]

Microseconds my as...oh you mean IC? Well, AFAIK theres no time justification, IE 1 MatCombRoun=X RL seconds so who knows?

I would hope, otherwise my 80 buck digital camera uploads 2d pictures faster than 3 seconds it takes to Upload a 1mp 2d photo.

Another variation is to construct a miniature deck use the cranial deck construction rules & costs from Shadowtech or Man & Machine (I think M&M has cranial versions of standard decks already). The resulting 'deck' has all the features but would reasonably fit in a Poc-sec or PDA.

Basically, I have designed a low-end cyberdeck with some accessories in a Pocket Secretary case. It's a MPCP 3/2/2/3/2 deck with the bare minimum of programs at 2, with radio and cellular interface, an RF scanner with decryption 1, a Cellular intercept thing from SOTA2064, a transceiver 4 with encryption 1, a dataline tap for physically tapping into systems and a fairly decent whack of memory.

The idea is to have it as a standard issue type thing to intelligence people, because it's camoflaged, and because it's incredibly useful. With it an operative could hijack the cleaning drones and other cameras in a target building per SSG, surf the Matrix including the use of contact databases, intercept (decrypt) and listen in on security and police radio networks, surveil targets using cellular interception, co-ordinate surveillance devices in place and so on.

I also envisage having a camoflaged accessory which is, in effect, a broadcast Dataline Tap which one could install on a suitable point in a system granting remote access for limited tasks (stuffing with a CCTV network, for example).

It is not for combat decking or anything other than the most mundane decking tasks, but the advantage is really in having a deck in circumstances where a deck is otherwise unlikely to get into the area. It compliments my current character, who is an Infiltrator type adept.
