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?
