Full Version: HP18C & HP28C ROM checksum?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.

Does somebody know how are the ROM checksum correction WORDs or BYTEs in the HP18C and HP28C ROMs are calculated. I know how to verify them, but how they are calculated is a mystery to me. When using a correction WORD there are multiple solutions, when using a BYTE there's only one solution and none when the checksum without the last BYTE is #0000h.

So is there are a correction WORD or BYTE?

Where's the position in each block?

When it's a WORD, how they come to the used correction WORD?

TNX,
