"Palm Pilot" was the not best visualization.
A better image would be the pocket protector full of 3x5 cards a fellow
engineering student used in the early 60's. He had it organized for quick

What I could envision using would be Debian with a minimal MATE
Desktop and a single custom Tcl/Tk app. The bottom of the screen would
have a 4x15 character array emulating a QWERTY keyboard for input of
arbitrary alphanumeric data. Display of "retrieved data" or "data
being entered" would be handled by the Tcl/Tk app.
I am probably way off the mark (and I apologize if I missed a "no"
answer to this) - but what about something like the "SDA" project[1]?
