I never got around to checking the instructions but I did check back to
see how the auction went.
The chip sold for $110 which seemed reasonable so I looked at the
seller's other auctions and found this:
<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31574&item=3481378392>
It specifically mentions compatibility with the 560x running Win2K and
the buy it now price was $77 so I got it.

Thanks to James for the link.

I have asked them if they have any more.

I guess this means I don't have an excuse to meet Vicky in Chicago...
