Actually, I think that's a good suggestion, if you can find someone with
the same ROMs. In my experience, most programmers actually do use the same
algorithm -- one of the common CRCs. At least, all three programmers I
regularly use do, and the checksums match the ones printed on SGI ROMs and
a few other ROMs I have that have printed checksums.
