Does anyone know how to contact him? He is apparently off the forum.

That's a horribly drawn schematic. I hate that style, it works but it's hard to see where everything is going.

I redrew the relevant part of the schematic in a clearer way. That 7404 hex inverter forms a Pierce oscillator with four separately buffered outputs. The best way to install a Kwak clock (or any other clock) would be to:

- Remove X301, R310, C308 and C309 (the crystal, resistor across the crystal and capacitor from either end of the crystal to ground).
- Bridge C309 with a link to stop that inverter from doing anything untoward.
- Cut the trace between pins 2 and 3 of Q305 (the hex inverter).
- Connect the signal output of the Kwak clock to pin 3 of Q305 (the hex inverter).
