However my PCB can be implemented with classics DIL14 pins 1 7 8 14 footprints for people who has very bad computer clock or simply wants to put the clock outside the hot computer box or even outside the hot computer room.

1PPM is not what I would call super stable. That is 1 usec per second.

You should NEVER use the local clock.

Why do you need the local for initialization?
