That would probably work, but just to make sure here's an addition to the plan. Can anyone think of a situation where this would break?
Sure someone could :)
Yet another idea which looks simple enough to hopefully work perfectly:
checksum[n] = data[n-1] xor data[n]
And if it does work, I'm sure it's some widely known algorithm that I've just never heard of.. :)
It also just occured to me that this provides easy detection of corrupted data if system crashes or whatever.
