Switch to grey-scale, and play with brightness and contrast. ;-)

Any Koreans in here? Or anybody else who can read the language?

I guess not, but my Korean buddy translated the Site as:
It took me 16 months to make this design. The 6522 chips had some problems
and the 6502 had 8 defective chips.
In the picture the 4 pieces on the left don't work. The rest do. He made
14 pieces that work and gave 2 pieces to someone named 'frankeoh'.
So it looks like this guy made the boards off an old design. I know there
was a schematic floating around so I guess he used that? Hard to say
really. The card does look pretty basic.

It's a very simple board. The trickiest thing on it is the RC delay
to generate Ph2 from Ph0 (or is it the other way around ;-).
BTW, the original Mockingboard failed to reset the sound generator chips
when the system was reset, so adding a diode to do this is a good idea.

I'm a member of that group (cafe.naver.com/appleii -- in Korean
internet term, such SIG is often called "cafe") and just read about
this thread from one of the postings there. The members are aware of
your interests in the mocking bird clone which is a creation of a
member who is a h/w expert. (There are a few h/w experts in the group
as well as many s/w experts, btw.)
If you want to know anything, want to ask questions, I'll be more than
happy to translate your questions and replies -- btw, many of them do
understand English but probably they're just too busy to interact in
usenet groups as they're discussing many other topics and projects
within the group; and everyone is between 30-40's holding full time
day job as h/w and/or s/w experts (and other types of jobs), and with
families -- just like everyone else. ;-)
Korean members can use this:

Both English and Korean speakers can use Google translate,
http://translate.google.com/translate_t# to translate back and forth
between English and Korean.

Will he be selling any more of the mockingboard clones?
If so, is there an alternative shipping method available for sending
to Australia?
Do you (as a group) have the ability to do small PCB production runs
for a reasonable cost?
This may be of benefit to a number of people in the community that
don't want to do a large run.
What is availability of Apple II software and hardware like in Korea?
Is it like Japan (scarce and sought after = expensive)?
If you are interested in talking to some Australian Apple II
enthusiasts (mostly hardware guys) in real time, then every Friday
night 9-11pm Sydney AEST (currently Seoul 7pm-9pm) there are a few of
us that chat in the A2Central IRC area.
