So you are a masochist....

Doesn't the 560 have on board memory? My 560x had 32 Mb built in so
adding the 64 Mb DIMM gave me 96 Mb.
I'm thinking of trying a 128 Mb DIMM from a 570, there's a rumor that it
might work, and I could use the RAM if I'm going to Win2K.

Would it make more sense to boot to the 560 from floppy (or PC card) and
format the disk on the 560? Then you'd be sure that it would work after
copying the WIN95 files.
You probably know that you don't need to copy the whole CD...
