Just solder them into place.  This missing connectors are not so much to
force you into using only one 16 bit peripheral, but to leave room for any
PC peripherals that overhand the normal 8 bit slots, like hard cards.  All
the proper circuitry is in place for these to be 16 bit slots.  This
technique is common on regular PClones as well.  But on these, you're
stuck with a PClone...
