It would be interesting to know how the palm pilot handles 
  mis-calibrations and factory setups.  They might do it through software 
  controls or they may have some interface port that allows for an alternate 
  input device.   
  
No;  they use the proceedure I described:  
double entry.  If you screw up twice, you are deemed too stupid to own a 
palm pilot.  Then you remove the batteries and get factory defaults, and 
start 
over.  
  My 
  understanding, from Tab's explanation of the magic PCMCIA card, is that 
  the system would boot and operate from the image on that card.  
  Would this magic PCMCIA card allow changes to the "Internal Flash 
  Filesystem"?    
  
Yes, but 
lets not wade too deep here, okay.
