Spurious checksum errors
Despite reformatting my workbench partition and reinstalling 3.9, I'm still getting spurious checksum errors. I have set the maxtransfer to 0x01fffe to no effect. I ran a ram test and it doesn't report any errors (which is the best to use?). The computer appears to work fine most of the time, but I got some file corruption when installing boingbag 1 (makedir and something else got hosed).
A2000 rev 4.3 with 1k resistor on U605, kickstart 3.1, GVP 030+SCSI 40 MHz, Buddha Flash controller with 2 GB SanDisk CF card, GVP Spectrum graphics card, X-Surf 2 network card. Oh, and I've replaced the PSU with an ATX unit. Any ideas what's causing it or how I can pinpoint the problem? Disksalv shows no errors when I check. |

Could be caused by ripple on the +5V line, too. Check PSU and capacitors.
Bad contact or busted SCSI terminator are other common causes. |

Did you press return after setting maxtransfers?
A lot of people don't do it and you should. |

Original capacitors are a common fail cause.

HDToolBox values were correct, so no luck there...
