ADVANCED RULES
For players and GMs intrepid enough to play out the defined nuances of this
piece of 'ware, you'll also want to keep track of the following other pieces
of information.
1. On-Board Protocols. When the character has the Programming SPU implanted, they need to choose which protocols have been programmed into their SPU. A level 1 Programming SPU gets 1 protocol; level 2 gets 2 protocols; level 3 gets 4 protocols; and level 4 gets all 8. Then, the character only gets the modifier to programming tasks when programming in one of their on-board protocols/languages.
2. ScriptSlot. Consider it a proprietary Chipjack for programming languages. The ScriptSlot directly interfaces with the Programming SPU, effectively adding whatever programming language is on the chip to the list of on-board protocols. However, the slotted protocol only grants a -1 to programming tasks in that specific programming language. (And on that note, there are any number of programming languages; just consider the list above to be a sort of starting reference.)
The ScriptSlot is considered
an additional piece of cyberware with the following game data:

The ScriptSofts themselves
(the modules that go into a ScriptSlot) are essentially a specialized SkillSoft
for Computer (Software Programming: [insert name of protocol here]). Their on-chip
data include an exhaustive, cross-referenced compendium of that language and
have the following game data:
