Nice find :)

I guess Atari character set has enough overlap with ASCII, so I could get the checksum to match:

    sum = 0
    "32000 REM TYPO II BY ANDY BARTON".codepoints.each_with_index{|c, i| sum += (i + 1) * c }
    print ((sum % 676) / 26 + 65).chr, (sum % 26 + 65).chr, "\n"
(Ruby code, outputs "WB")
