Hi There,
On the Apple II enthusiasts group on Facebook and on Twitter, I post an Apple II quiz every one or two weeks. I realize now that I missed csa2 for the rest of us. So, here is the fifth quiz...

He asked who am I, not what am I, so it's a person.

Ohhhh NOW I know!

Dr Tom Turley! His name is on everything, even the Apple II ROM! He created most of the apple ii software out there, how did I miss that?!

Anthony is right: we are looking for a person. That person is not Dr. Tom!

Time to give the (long) answer...

The winner is Tom Porter!

You had to find the name of the programmer(s) of the diagnostics routine in the firmware.

It is a joint effort of R. Williams, R. Aurrichio and Dick Huston on the 8-bit Apple IIs and the work of Karl Grabbe on the Apple IIgs.
