In Augmentation, nano-biomonitors are listed as an upgrade of a basic cybernetic biomonitor, so why can't a slot get it installed in a cyberlimb? It has the same Essence cost of a regular biomonitor after all.

Nano-biomonitors actually have to be present in the "bio" to monitor it.
Being in the cyberlimb will get you nice readings of... metal and plastic. You can have a nanohive in the cyberlimb to help maintain them, but they kinda have to circulate in the bloodstream to work. -k |

RAW, they maintain themselves. All the nano-cyber has its own 'specialized' hives (which basically means, 'cuz I said so'), so they can't be installed in limbs/with existing nanohives. *shrug*
It's not an upgrade like more RAM, it's an upgrade like a better computer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) You don't add it to an existing biomonitor (not for a reason, just because that's the rules). |

Great, now I'm getting images of Tamanous Ambulances made out of Cadillac Miller-Meteors (From various years.).
