The Roland checksum starts with a three byte address followed by 1 or more bytes of data. By entering these bytes as a hexadecimal string, this utility will calculate the checksum for you. Execute the utility and at the prompt enter a string, e.g. 4000000070E08 and press the ENTER key. You will be given the result 23h which is the hexadecimal checksum. Note that the utility is not case sensitive. Only hexadecimal values are allowed. There *must* be 2 characters per byte. 00 is of course insignificant and can be left out. The example above is the same as 40070e08! I hope you find this useful. :) Cheers Eddie lotter@cc.und.ac.za ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
