I'm not sure why your question was directed to me, or attached to a saf-T-net
thread. I'm not real knowledgable about the AmigaDOS disk structures, but I
think that the 'checksum' that these disk editors use/refer to (looking in
the AmigaDOS Tech. Ref. Manual – LongWord 5 of the sector) does not apply to
the Boot block on the disk partition (Block 0). For a non-bootable disk (or
partition), the contents of the Boot Block are meaningless, except for the
first four bytes, which identify the type of disk it is ==> "KICK" for a
Kickstart disk, "DOS " for a standard AmigaDOS disk, and anything else for a
"Not a DOS disk".
Are you dreaming? I don't know – what was that funny little pill I saw you
taking? <grin>
