In Neuromancer, Gibson uses the terms Hosaka, Ono-Sendai, and "deck" interchangeably. The Ono-Sendai is a "matrix simulator" and the Hosaka is a computer. The "deck" is slang for one of the items, but which one? Does one use both machines to access the matrix or are they independent of each other?

The "Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7" is the I/O peripheral that Case uses to interface (it sounds like a form of direct neural stimulation) with various computers. He carries it with him, and uses it to interface with other computers as well as the Hosaka. (Kind of like a VR rig that you can operate by thinking at it...)
"Case, you want the fifth socket from the left, top panel. There's adaptor plugs in the cabinet under the console. Needs Ono-Sendai twenty-point into Hitachi forty."
The "Hosaka" is more of a traditional computer, though still more powerful than today's, and voice-activated.
[...] next year's most expensive Hosaka computer;
"Panther Moderns," he said to the Hosaka, removing the trodes. "Five minute precis."
"Ready," the computer said.
Other computers in the story are also referred to using the "Hosaka" brand name:
"Got your boss on hold," the Flatline said. "He's coming through on the twin Hosaka in that boat upstairs, the one that's riding us piggy-back. Called the Haniwa."
"Deck" is the generic term for what the Ono-Sendai is:
With his deck waiting, back in the loft, an Ono-Sendai Cyberspace 7.
Both machines are used to access the matrix; the Hosaka does the processing and data-transfers, and the Ono-Sendai does the visualizations.
