those "slots" also limit how many skillsofts you can run at once (chipped or loaded wirelessly).
So they are a limit on how many different skills you can run at once.

2) The chipjack adds additional slots for skillchips.
This is a concept that isn't actually discussed anywhere, Skillchips aren't even mentioned in the Core Rulebook (and only mentioned once outside of the description for Chipjacks).
Based on the context, my assumption is that skillchips are just supposed to be the physical media that skillsofts are stored on. So the bonus from a Chipjack for additional skillchip slots is akin to having a usb hub adding additional usb ports for your computer.
The only problem with that is that (since skillchips are never detailed anywhere) there isn't any apparent need for skillchip slots. There isn't any limitation anywhere about how many skillsofts can be loaded on a single skillchip, and of course if you are running wirelessly there isn't any apparent need for skillchips at all.
In any case, as adzling pointed out, if you want to simulate skillsofts being loaded on the chipjack vs loaded on the skilljack, you can put skillsofts on either one and HeroLab will find them no problem.
