It goes further than that - even the 4x CD-ROM from the earlier 560's won't
work - it has to be the 8x or 20x that's sold for the 560x. My cow-orker
was the one doing the eval on this unit, and he discovered that nasty fact
when he tried to restore the pre-load prior to shipping it back. He's been
giving everyone he can get hold of at IBM an earful of how stupid that is.
