No it wouldn't! If casio made a custom-made chip, which is what I have
been saying all along, then YOU JUST PLUG IN A NEW CRYSTAL AND CPU.
And of course, the CPU would be the "computer on a chip", just like the
original CPU. Really, it wouldn't be hard, nor expensive for such a
low-end processing unit.

Uh, sure, whatever.
