Problems with calc

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER remove batteries during a Garbage Collecting or Defragmenting screen! NEVER! Don't press ON or insert/remove a link cable, either. Those aren't as bad, but removing the batteries MUTILATES the data in the flash chip, which includes the OS.
However, you SHOULD be able to get it to take an OS by removing a battery, holding DEL, putting the battery back, and sending the OS over. You'll have best results if you use a unit-to-unit cable, sending the OS from another calc, and putting the cable in before doing the DEL trick.
