I have the 505TX and it doesn't use USB for floppy or parallel. It has another connection which is transparent to fbsd. The TX can do 1024x768, which is fine for my eyes, but some older people think that everything is too small for them. The TS does 800x600, which is too big for me but others seem to like it. I don't know about the older 505 models, but I have no complaints with mine so far. I just wish the pcmcia network card I have was supported, but that isn't an issue with the laptop.
