[comp.sys.atari.st] TOS 1.4 ROM checksums

teexand@ioe.lon.ac.uk (Andrew Dawson) (11/14/90)

I recently bought the TOS 1.4 (UK) upgrade kit. On each of the chips is a
checksum. Does anyone know how this is calculated? I tried obvious things
such as summing alternate bytes of the first 64K, but couldn't get anything
like the correct values.

(I have no reason to believe my ROMS are corrupt - they seem to work fine.
I'm just curious as to how the checksums are calculated).
