I think they may have an ability to recover built in.
I know when I upgraded the OS on my wife's IIIx, I had a problem with the
upgrade, and the flash didn't complete. The Palm wouldn't boot and I
thought I was hosed. But a check in the directions offered a recover
method. There is a sequence of button presses you can do that drops the
Palm into "debugger" mode, and from there, the upgrade utility could
restart the flash process and write the OS again.
Of course, you would need a copy of the Flash ROM/OS and a utility to
write it. I know you can dump your current ROM to file with the tools in
the Palm Emulator available from Palm... but the only tool I know to
write it back to the Palm is their OS upgrade tool, which means you would
have to shell out for the upgrade (or find someone else that already did
and use the software that they have).
