You can do chain checksumming by feeding each checksum as a seed to the next
call to the checksum routine (and starting at zero).

Does anyone know how the checksums for the overlay resource are calculated?
What is the formula? Can I mimic it by creating it on the Palm itself?

The reason that you have only found ROM images up to OS 4 is that there is no emulator
