Some people are calling a crystal an oscillator even when they know
the difference. Google up some 6551 hack topics and try to follow
their garbage.

Jameco shows a 2-lead "oscillator" that looks just like the crystal
package. Using only 2 connections, one going to RxC, the other would
need to go to 5V, ground?
