The checksum used by MacOS to validate the PROM content is an exclusive-OR rather than a sum over the corresponding bytes. In addition the MAC address must be stored in bit-reversed format as indicated in comments in Linux's macsonic.c.
With the PROM contents fixed MacOS starts to probe the device registers when AppleTalk is enabled in the Control Panel.
