Now you can run some cyberprograms on a RCC, now can you run  on a drone?

The rules appear to make them very specific to RCCs - the fact that the RCC version is different from the deck version supports this.

thought so, but It was suggested that you could run Virtual Machine on a drone so could run 3 autosofts.  I didn't think anything of it until I was reading Drone Rating vs number of programs when I was thinking of a House rule for commlinks using the device rating like autopilots for a number of programs it can run.

Yeah, I'm not so sure on that...  It basically requires treating Autosofts as Cyberprograms, and that doesn't sound quite right to me...

Aaaand, I was mistaken.

A drone has a
number of slots to use for autosofts and cyberprograms
equal to half its Device Rating, rounded up.

Under the Autosofts section.
