Yeah, I've used them as replacement 65C02s plenty of times.

Though there might be one particular branded one that doesn't work.

Nothing Bad will happen.


That's what I thought with the 65c02-14 but I lost my clock.

I assure you that whatever happened to your clock had nothing
to do with replacing the processor--unless an ESD discharge
coincidentally occurred when you touched the board/chip.

It's much more likely to be a broken trace or bad connection.
(Or it may simply be the incredible coincidence that your clock's
battery chose *this* particular moment to fail.  ;-)

If the battery is the problem, then you'll still be able to set
and read the clock when the power is on, but it won't hold the
date and time when power is switched off.
