I'm stuck since solving the wire puzzle (Item 34, and Puzzle P-15 System Shock Hint Book). I have to get to the northwest corner of this location, insert the above mentioned chipset, which will open the central hub leading to the last cyberspace terminal at Item 36.
Prior to this I killed all the bad guys in Item 33, solved the wire puzzle in the center platform which was (I think) supposed to open the last force door in the computer area. When I went to that location the force door was in place and I don't know of any other way to enter and go after Shodan. I sure need help and will appreciate any advice that will allow me to successfully finish the game. Thanks. pukey

It's been a while, but here goes...
IIRC there are three force doors stopping you from accessing the terminal where you have to insert the chipset. One wire puzzle is in the 'Autobomb maze', another is in a small room where you have to press a series of buttons (Each opening a door that has a Sec2 bot behind it until the wire puzzle in the centre is revealed), and the last is in a maze filled with Sec2 bots underneath some force bridges.
The terminal you have to access is in the northwest, I believe the three wire puzzle rooms are in the NE, SW and SE.

It's exactly like driver said. So it appears that you've missed solving one of the three wire puzzles.

Thanks Driver and D'Arcy. I solved the wire puzzle in the "auto bomb maze; then entered an area in the north end of level 9 where I had to kill a series of sec2bots hidden in 5-6 alcoves; and pressed a button in each alcove after killing the sec2bot. After that one of the buttons produced a force bridge where I was able to get to the center and there I solved that wire puzzle; and a voice said something to the effect that the computer room was now open. I don't remember the last item, a maze filled with sec2bots underneath some force bridges.Nevertheless, when I tried to get into the area known as Item 35, there was one force door still up. I'll go back and recheck everything; obviously I missed something along the way. Thanks to you and your advice. Will keep all posted. pukey

The CNU (Citadel Notification Utility) says "Force Door 1/2/3 (depending on what you solved) to computer room open". Since there are 3 force doors you need to hear a message like that three times.

Thanks Trance - and driver - and D'Arcy: I sure did miss one, the puzzle beneath all the force floors. Actually found it first time around but apparently did something wrong. Anway, I just finished killing the last Elite Cyborg in and around the Cyberterminal. So I saved and tomorrow will see how it goes in my efforts to terminate SHODAN, with extreme prejudice, as they say in the CIA. My sincere appreciation for all the help. This is one great Forum and one great game. Will keep all posted with respect to my desire to kill SHODAN. pukey
