At least the 760s had problems with Warp 3. There's a special Video Fix disk available that 
is necessary for installation of Warp 3 on a 760.
In any way, you ought to have a look at IBMs Web pages (www.pc.ibm.com/thinkpad) and get the 
latest drivers and instructions from there. Warp 3 is still supported, so it should be no 
problem to use all features of your 560.
It is also possible to use the PCMCIA drivers from Warp 4. RFI (www.rfi.de) has the necessary 
drivers in its support section.
Warp 4 installs out of the box, it knows all TPs that came out before 11/96.

If you do not have much RAM (8 MB or less), you should 
- consider using FAT instead of HPFS, 
- increase your Swapfile (SWAPPATH=F:\ 2048 16384), the 2nd value is the initial amount of 
Swap space you are using, 
- rem out XDFLOPPY.FLT once Warp is installed
- set PRINTMONBUFSIZE=0,0,0
- set THREADS to a lower value
