ROM revision number is displayed.
Error: Not detected.
The revision number defined in the source file is displayed
with four digits.
(2-3) ROM Check Sum
Check sum is calculated.
Error: Not detected.
8-bit data are added up to the ROM address 0x000F0000 to
0x002EFFFF, and the result is displayed with 4-digit hexa-
decimal number. Error is not detected. Compare the result
with the specified value.

played.
(2-6) M't Check
Mount resistance is checked.
Error 22: The region code does not accord.
Check whether the region code that is deduced from model
resistance and destination resistance accords with the re-
gion code that is deduced from region resistance value.
