Exactly right.
The 560 series seems to be kind of sensitive to brand of memory, so try to get a name-brand that lists the 560 (or 560X or 560Z) explicitly, such as IBM, Goldenram, Apricorn, or Viking.

Did it come with a floppy drive? If not, keep your eye open for one - possibly the former owner of your machine is selling it right now on eBay.
BTW, the 560 series *will* boot from a PCMCIA compact flash. You might find this useful.
