The Thinkpad 560 won't work with the enhanced 560x port replicator. No external USB/pcmcia support on the 560.
You'll need a cdrom or network connection for your install. You have to get those setup files onto the hard drive.

Subject: 560 port replicator
now that i've figured out what to buy, i figured on also needing a docking station/port replicator for it. i have seen a few on ebay with usb capabilities, and some say it will work with older models, while still others say it will work only with the 560x. who is right? oh, one more thing: how can i load an OS onto a blank machine without a pcmcia cd drive? i suppose i could look around and find one to borrow, but i'm hoping there's a less painful (but probably more time-consuming) way to do it. thanks again everyone. oh, and about the word wrap, i'm writing with aol's browser mail, because i'm away from home right now and logging in as a guest disables web browsing ability. if you're without aol, it probably doesn't make much sense, so i'll sum it up for you: don't ever consider aol. ever.
