Star Trek has a number of organic computing examples, too. Species 8472, Data, and the Borg all use varying degrees of organic components.

There's also the bio-neural gel packs on Voyager and the unnamed 31st century Earth vessel discovered by Archer and the NX-01 Enterprise.

New Trek even has a mycelial network in space.

New Trek is so awful. There’s no depth to anything. Interweaving stories to make them seem important. It’s just bad TV.

The previous, it gets better the closer to TNG it is. Granted DS9 was a different beast than TNG or Voyager. Those shows had episodes, individual stories, as well as seasonal arcs. Back when shows were written for TV. New Trek feels like a bad movie script broken into episodes with side character filler.
