ROMCOPY may alter the checksum. Depending on the size of the image, ROM and EPROM checksums may be in different memory locations. The dump routine in the Emu71 manual provides a correct dump.

An ongoing topic with different views... lol

A. Dave feels preserving checksums, which aren't used by anything, is important, and extra effort is justified to do so.

B. Bob feels preserving checksums, which aren't used by anything, is not important, and can be safely ignored, saving time and energy to ridicule class A. believers.

I suspect most h/w oriented folks are type A and s/w oriented (and lazy) folks are type B, but 've not conducted research to verify this.
