Checksum question

[TBK]

Since the checksum is part of the rom data, it can't be included in the
checksum. That would make it self modifying. Once you calculated it, it
would change the checksum. The checksum, vin, and usually the prom ID are
not in the checksum calc (on some, the ID is part of the checksum range).
