SAEDER-KRUPP SMART-WARE
Once again, Saeder-Krupp, suppliers of MET 2000, bring you the best in smart-link technology, instead of the old method of implanting the smart-link headware and palmlink in one inflexible, easily damaged unit, our doctors can prepare a package tailored to your individual needs.
Does your headware already have a smartlink program? Then only have the palm-link fitted, 100% compatible with standard headware computers, this bodyware module feeds the signal from a standard smartlink to your headware, which performs all the tasks normally associated with a dedicated smart-link chip.
You have a datajack, and would prefer not to have people shake your hand and realize you have a smartlink, because the center of your hand is colder than the rest? No problem. Just fit our dedicated smartware module, and feed your weapon�s signal in through any standard datajack, the module will do the rest.
Available in both Smart-I and improved Smart-II.

CORDLESS SMART-LINKING
Don�t want to mess about with a cable that could jam, or be pulled out at an inopportune moment, or have a tell-tale palmlink? Then fit our new cordless smart module.
This dedicated communications module provides a continuous FM radio connection to your smartgun, without th need for a cable or palm-link. If it�s installed at the same time as a radio or radio-receiver, there is no extra essence loss, though one channel will be in constant use while the smart gun is activated, so a comm-link is recommended if you wish to use the radio for communications as well.

Note: There is no extra essence cost if you already have a headware radio.

>>> Again, be careful with this one, real subtle, but a kid with a cheap Radio Shack transmitter can ruin your day if he�s broadcasting on the same frequency, get your local chop-doc to fit some ECCMs and signal-boosters to ensure that the signal will go through. <<<

>>> One neat trick is that you can send a fire-command down the radio link, even if you aren�t holding the gun. Get a first-pull double-action, and the thing can be as good as an extra gun if you set it up right. <<<

>>> I don�t employ these, as you have to switch the smartlinks on/off MANUALLY if you�re using more than one gun... <<<

ARES DOU-SMART
Ares Macrotechnology, the king of military systems comes through again, with the Ares Duo-mod, a retro-fit to any existing Ares smart-system that allows the user to fire two smart-guns at the same time. The dedicated chipware process the signals separately and places two distinctly colored target-dots an your field of vision (please state target-dot colors when ordering).
Customers please note that as yet, this modification is not available for smartlink II systems. Although the mod will accept signals from such a weapon, it will not give access to all the features of such a system.

The duo system does indeed allow two smartlinks to be used at the same time, providing they are both pointing at the same target. The "off-hand", as well as the "using a second firearm"-modifier apply.
If the guns are pointed at two seperate targets, then the smartgun bonus for the off-hand does not count, unless the user has an encephalon with cognitive multi-tasking ability. Then, assuming the targets are both in the same field of vision (i.e. you don�t have to turn your head to see the other target), the bonus applies (at the GM�s discretion).

>>> What the Big A doesn�t tell you is that you need some sort of interface for the second gun, if you�ve got no jack, no radio and no palmlink in your off hand, this mod ain�t going to do diddly. Get a datajack, the sammy�s second most useful tool after a grade II link. <<<

HEADWARE SMART-PROGRAMMS
Fully compatible with Vision SPUs, these programs replace the dedicated headware of a smartlink with a simple headware program, that is compatible with both existing palmlinks and datajack input. These programs require a large amount of headware memory to function, as well as either a Vision SPU, or data-display link.
The smart program is available in both Smart-I and Smart-II versions.

The Smart-program does work on fast-draws, as long as your System Load Delay is less than 1. If it hits 1, then "smart" fast-draws are impossible. Once it goes over 5, then there is an appreciable lag in the target-dot if you move your gun too quickly...

>>> Again, they conveniently forgot to tell us that this thing is slow to boot. If you fast-draw your pistol, and you�re running through a palm-link. Or if you�ve only just fitted the cablein, then this baby takes a little while to warm up, then don�t expect to see the targeting dot until your third shot or so. <<<

>>> Yeah, and another thing. There is no "cookie-cutter" function in the program, you point this thing at a chummer, even a bosom-buddy and pull the trigger, and your gun will go off! <<<

>>> I�ve got an image-recognition D-Base now, and I�ve re-written the software no to fire at certain, specific targets, just be nice to me, and I�ll include you in the list. <<<
