   Possibly, although I do not see anything special being done with the upper   
   two bytes.   
      
   The problem is that you have degraded the hash to an 8-bit value, by   
   multiplying AL by BL.   In short, the multiplication ignores the "15" from   
   your "1505" value.   
      
   It just needs a 16 bit multiplication (AX by BX.   Mind DX though, it gets   
   overwritten).
