It took me years to get around to reading these two.  Could the rest be

Bone Dance by Emma Bull
Orbital Resonance by John Barnes
Synners by Pat Cadigan
The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling

I remember liking the Bull but nothing else. The Barnes was interesting
enough I tracked down his early work. Pity he seems to have left the
field. Synner is slow to start but worth it in the end. I don't remember
much about the Gibson & Sterling but I've never reread it.
