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...

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.
