| Feb 12, 2023 at 21:16 | comment | added | user1850479 | I've used it to clock ASICs and FPGAs, so no reason it would not work for an old fashioned CPU. But overkill but it would work. | |

| Feb 12, 2023 at 19:56 | comment | added | DKNguyen | @Hearth If so, then they may be able to replace it if other specs match. I was mainly double checking the OP meant what their words actually meant. I guess another thing to consider is whether the oscillator output required is a square wave or sinusoidal. | |
| Feb 12, 2023 at 19:55 | comment | added | Hearth | @DKNguyen They say it's a DIP-4 crystal oscillator, which sounds like a complete oscillator to me. I've never seen a crystal packaged with more than two pins, at least not through-hole. | |
| Feb 12, 2023 at 19:53 | comment | added | DKNguyen | Terminology note that a crystal is not an oscillator. A crystal is a crystal and won't oscillate on its own. An oscillator is an entire circuit that may or may not contain a crystal that actually does oscillate. You need to know which it is your require. Neither a MEMs oscillator nor a crystal oscillator (both of which are entire circuits) can replace replace a crystal which is not an oscillator. | |
