Hello all,
My Brutal hacker just died making a fingers crossed run to Yak's Northwestern most territory because it is the closest place to buy the Matrix Link cyberware.
The others I have found are in Mars corp and Aztec!! Certain death for weenling CK's and IMHO by the time its safe to travel there I would have uninstalled the Matrix Link in favour of more survivability upgrades.
Every single Cyberware shop in gangland has an abundance of Display Link cyberware to suit CK's that are that way inclined but the Matrix rats are neglected in this regard.
Any chance that at least one "easy" territory cyberware vendor could provide this upgrade? (or am I just not seeing it?)
Peace and subsistence.
Edit : was smith medical in yakuza land

These are definitely some harder updates to get a hold of, you've got them at:
CA Medical Systems in Beacon Hill
Unified Research Inc. in AzTek Core
Smith Biomedical in Old Church
I'd suggest getting 2 Taxi contacts, and take a taxi in and immediately take a taxi out.

None of these locations has a phone. So you still have to walk through some territory to get to call your taxi home. So what I do first complete a bunch of jobs for the Secrets of Steel Club. Most of them require going someplace in ganger territory, (and don't take the ones that do not, except that hopping back to Old Waterfront and then walking across and making another frantic dash in to deliver something to the Harbour Hilton Hotel or the Seaside Apartments is a good bet). If you line things up correctly there is almost no chance that KH will attack you going from Old Waterfront to the door. I only go visit Smith Biomedical after rep in KH is a few bars of green, and I have no heat. But, though rare, you can still get killed doing this ... |

Sorry fallen and grävling, I was actually at smith biomed and the short walk south to the Data term is what did me in! Taxi to Smith's, > Surgery > Rest and Recuperate > Head a few squares south to Data term > Taxi out, was my plan. My hacker was a relentless escapist but the confines of this short walk were too much. I know the dice gods are fickle  Musing re Gravs response : The supersonic Inn in the fenns is a rundown hovel charging 25 a night for a mouldy room (even free in desperate times) yet they are kind enough to provide a phone. Smith biomed is a luxurious well kept and expensive (300) hotel providing skilled surgeons in a clean sterile environment that neglects this basic service (phone). Anyway, I usually post here when i suffer an unfortunate demise because I blame the game not myself  hehe I think next time I will acquire it immediatly early on in the "safe" time as it is pretty inexpensive. Cheers |

Eh, the data terminal is very close to smith biomedical. Takes some 3-10 seconds to get to it. |

Ah, electronics and hacking are the intelligence skills. (Intimidate and Negotiate are the Perception Skills, and Intelligence itself is an Attribute). I think that you will find that you are getting +1 elec and +1 hacking, as promised in the description, and that your other +1 in hacking comes from your dataport. They stack. |

thats a negative my esteemed grävling , Hired ' rune warden' the hacker. immediatly ripped out dataport 1 and stuck in matrixlink and dataport 2. hacking 3 [7] Not that im complaining, with headware 40 it makes nettel hopping viable right away for juicy yen. |
