Hardware Rulings
Arasaka Portable Prototype
ERRATA:
Should say, "If you use any of the bits, replace them from the bank at
the start of your next turn." (Sparky, Netrunner-L, 10/11/96)
"Armadillo" Armored Road Home
ERRATA:
Should say, "If you use any of the bits, replace them from the bank at
the start of your next turn." (Sparky, Netrunner-L, 10/11/96)
Artemis 2020
ERRATA:
Should say, "If you use any of the bits, replace them from the bank at
the start of your next turn." (Sparky, Netrunner-L, 10/11/96)
Bodyweight (tm) Data Creche
You may make
the extra run after a successful run using the extra action provided by
Wilson, Weeflerunner Apprentice; there is no limit on the number of bits
you can use during the Bodyweight Data Creche run. (Sparky, Netrunner-L,
8/6/96)
Since the bonus
run granted by Bodyweight Data Creche does not happen in the context of
an action, it does not occur "during" an action and is not prohibited by
the first subroutine on Haunting Inquisition. This means that you could
use the bonus run right after a (successful) run in which you become Haunted.
(Skipper Pickle, Netrunner-L, 8/10/98)
Corolla Speed Chip
ERRATA:
Should say, "If you use the bit, replace it from the bank at the start
of your next turn." (Sparky, Netrunner-L, 10/11/96)
Dermatech Bodyplating
ERRATA:
Should say "Prevent up to 1 meat damage each turn." (Sparky, Netrunner-L,
10/11/96)
"Drifter" Mobile Environment
ERRATA:
Should say, "If you use any of these bits, replace them from the bank...."
(Sparky, Netrunner-L, 10/11/96)
You can use
the bits only for tag removal, not for activating card effects that result
in tag removal (e.g., you can't use these bits to activate Nomad Allies).
(Sparky, Netrunner-L, 8/7/96)
Eurocorpse (tm) Spin Chip
The icebreaker
inside Eurocorpse Spin Chip has all the benefits and drawbacks of any other
installed icebreaker (e.g., it can be trashed by killer ice subroutines).
(Sparky, Netrunner-L, 10/18/96)
"Green Knight" Surge Buffers
ERRATA:
Should say "Prevents up to 1 Net damage each turn." (Sparky, Netrunner-L,
10/11/96)
HQ Interface
Multiple HQ
Interfaces provide cumulative effects. (Sparky, Netrunner-L, 6/4/96)
The additional
cards accessed do not include cards installed in HQ. (JD Wiker, Netrunner-L,
1/3/97)
Lifesaver (tm) Nanosurgeons
If some effect
prevents the damage (e.g., Shield), you cannot use Lifesaver Nanosurgeons
to draw cards. (Sparky, Netrunner-L, 7/11/96)
The damage
must happen DURING one of your last three actions; you can't activate the
drawing effect of Lifesaver Nanosurgeons using damage that occurs between
actions or as a start-of-turn or end-of-turn effect to fulfill the prerequisite
condition. (JD Wiker, Netrunner-L, 2/7/97)
Lifesaver Nanosurgeons
no longer has an erratum that inserts the word "successfully" before the
word "damaged." (Skipper Pickle, Netrunner-L, 9/29/98)
Lucidrine (TM) Drip Feed
You only gain
one action each turn from Lucidrine Drip Feed; the actions do not accumulate.
(Sparky, Netrunner-L, 9/27/96)
The action
gained from Lucidrine Drip Feed may be forgone to fulfill a penalty. (Sparky,
Netrunner-L, 10/2/96)
Microtech Backup Drive
Cards placed
on Microtech Backup Drive go faceup. (Sparky, Netrunner-L, 4/20/96)
A program that goes to a Microtech Backup Drive can be considered trashed
and out of play (REVERSEs a previous ruling). (Skipper Pickle, Netrunner-L,
9/28/98)
Microtech 'Trode Set
"Ignoring"
a subroutine means that you don't even get a chance to break it, not that
you just ignore its effect. (Official Netrunner Rulings, 4/21/97)
Omnitech Wet Drive
The MU vary
dynamically and instantly. With MIT West Tier, the Runner’s hand is 0 before
he DRAWs 5 cards. The MU are 0 for an moment. (Tom Wylie 11/12/99)
Pandora's Deck
ERRATA:
Should say, "If you use any of the bits, replace them from the bank at
the start of your next turn." (Sparky, Netrunner-L, 10/11/96)
These bits
cannot be used for SETTING a base link--only for using effects that modify
a base link (e.g., these bits could not be used to pay for Access through
Alpha, since Alpha only sets a base link, but does not allow you to increase
your link). (JD Wiker, Netrunner-L, 6/26/97)

Total Genetic Retrofit
If multiple
Total Genetic Retrofits are played, they will all wait for the "next" tag;
you can't use them to avoid that number of future tags. (Tom Wylie, 8/26/97)
