RDSK checksum

Hey all,

A little help would be welcome, here, as I would like to generate a checksum for a RDSK rootblock.
According to the description done my Laurent Clevy, there's a way calculate this. However, in his checksum calculation example in the same document, he clearly state it's not applicable to rootblocks.
Hence my question. The block in question ($200 bytes) is as follows. Any small C code would be nice

Sylvain
Code:
unsigned char buf[512] =
{
    0x52, 0x44, 0x53, 0x4B, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x40, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x07,

No he says that "This checksum algorithm works for most block types except for Bootblock", because bootblocks use a slightly different algorithm.
