Open Apple #35 (Feb 2014): Sean Fahey, Uthernet, Silvern Castle, and the Mac’s 30th

Summary: <a href="https://www.open-apple.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/fahey.jpg" class="thickbox" title="Sean Fahey" data-wpel-link="internal"></a>This month on Open Apple, Mike and Ken chat with Sean Fahey, proprietor of A2Central.com and KansasFest committee member. Sean and James Littlejohn distribute a plethora of Apple II hardware and software every year to KansasFest attendees, and next year’s haul will be bigger than ever — we have the details why. Glenn Jones is working on a new Uthernet card, and we can’t wait to see what new software it makes possible. The Mac turned thirty years old last month, and we reminisce about the first time we added a non-Apple II Apple to our inventory. Madden NFL, the football game that got its start on the Apple II, is the subject of both preservation and litigation — but we’d rather be playing Silvern Castle.<br> Click past the jump for links mentioned in this episode.<br> <a name="intro"></a>Introduction (0:00 – 10:03)<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.wickensonline.co.uk/retrochallenge-2012sc/" title="Retrochallenge Competition | 2014WW" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Retrochallenge Winter Warmup</a><br> * <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_SOS" title="Apple SOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Apple Sophisticated Operating System (Apple SOS)</a><br> * <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/gamebits" title="Gamebits - YouTube" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Gamebits on YouTube</a><br> * <a href="http://www.elgato.com/gaming/game-capture-hd" title="Game Capture HD | elgato.com" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Elgato Game Capture HD</a><br> * <a href="http://quinndunki.com/blondihacks/?p=1426" title="Blondicade « Blondihacks" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Quinn Dunki’s Mac mini arcade</a><br> <br> <a name="guest"></a>User Login (10:4 – 31:01)<br> <br> * <a href="http://a2central.com/" title="A2Central.com - Your total source for Apple II computing." data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">A2Central.com — Your total source for Apple II computing</a><br> * <a href="http://www.kansasfest.org/" title="KansasFest - Apple II convention - July 22-27, 2014 - Kansas City, MO" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">KansasFest</a><br> * <a href="http://applewin.berlios.de/" title="Apple //e Emulator for Windows" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">AppleWin</a><br> * <a href="http://www.kansasfest.org/2011/07/the-return-of-seans-garage/" title="The return of Sean's garage | KansasFest" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">The return of Sean’s Garage at KansasFest 2011</a><br> * <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.sys.apple2/tRJ2vvdODL0/discussion" title="Michael Mahon donates Apple II collection - Google Groups" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Michael Mahon donates Apple II collection</a><br> <br> <a name="news"></a>II News (31:02 – 1:28:43)<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.a2retrosystems.com/blog/?p=172" title="a2retro blog » Blog Archive » Working on Uthernet II" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Glenn Jones working on Uthernet II</a><br> * <a href="http://tanrunomad.com/official-games/" title="Official Games | TanRu Nomad Computer Museum" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Brian Picchi’s Retro Fever</a><br> * <a href="https://juiced.gs/2013/07/zephyr-relaunches/" title="Zéphyr relaunches | Juiced.GS" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener">Zéphyr unboxing</a><br> * <a href="http://finkjsc.a2hq."></a>
