Argh - how many times can people say the same things in different ways?

You do not need a 8 pin socket, you already have a socket soldered to the board.

YES - as people keep telling you, the crystal MUST be fitted with the correct orientation.

This is assuming you have the FPU fitted (or have bought one to fit).

Also, as others have said several times - the card should work without the FPU/crystal providing the jumpers are set correctly.

Your statement "C and D also look partially blocked off" concerns me as it sounds as if both of these are already jumpered?

I believe your board already had the 8 pin (DIL) socket.  If your board did not have this socket, you could solder one in to allow easy replacement of the crystal.  As your board already has this, you can simply insert the crystal.  

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic before - but it seems most of the answers you're looking for have already been stated several times.

Did you ever find out if the card worked as it is - without the FPU/jumpers?  The CPU and RAM should work regardless of jumper settings unless the card is faulty ... ?

Good to hear you finally have this working
