Sounds like a pretty onerous task! I think some early models (maybe Celestron) did not have PEC retained in memory. So, when you powered off the mount, the PEC settings were lost. Meade then introduced PPEC (Permanent/Programmable PEC) which was retained when power was removed from the mount.
On the wonders of modern electronics eh.
