 |Optical Chips| You need these for programming, but also for the program components of deck parts when deckbuilding. Buy at electronics stores. Legal|Varies.|

-|Computers| You need a computer (laptop, desktop, datacenter, etc) to install your programming designs onto. The higher the rating, the faster you can program. Also, large storage sizes recommended. While you can successfully write a program on a computer that has storage absolutely stuffed full, you will find it EASIER and therefore FASTER if your computer's available storage is more than TWICE whatever you are programming. And the larger the program you are coding, the more storage you need.

While you can successfully write a program on a computer that has very little ACTIVE memory, you will find it EASIER and therefore FASTER if your computer's available ACTIVE memory is more than TWICE whatever you are programming. Also, large STORAGE sizes recommended to avoid needing to shuffle what programs you can keep in your computer.

 |Programming Suite| I am noting this here as something which is really mandatory if you are going to do any programming at all. You want as high a rating Programming Suite as will fit on your computer, while leaving enough room for you to create a program.. and then some extra. |Not for sale / this is not something you can get in stores.|

 |36|MPCP|Yes|The higher the better. No persona program may be higher than the rating of your MPCP. Further, the sum of all your persona programs cannot exceed 3 times the value of your MPCP.  |
 |37|Reality Filter|Yes| Filters the matrix to conform to iconography and style as preferred by the user. This allows a decker to react faster. (OOC: Increased reaction and initiative. The downsides (-1 MPCP) for Reality Filters are not implemented!)|
