Shadowrun Cyber: Headware Memory

Copyright (C) 1994 Aaron Wigley

According to the ShadowBeat sourcebook, all commercial Optical Memory Chips
are of a standard 1x2x3 cm size regardless of capacity. Hence, why should
headware memory cost more essence as capacity is increased, as the unit is
the same size, requires the same mods etc.
