I got Z505FX (japanese version) this week and installed 3.2R + PAO3.
* Processor - MobilePentiumII 366 MHz
* 64 MB SDRAM, expandable to 192 MB
* Hard disk size - 6.4 GB Fixed
working items:
* LCD - 12.1 XGA Active Matrix (1024 x 768)
* Graphics - NeoMagic MagicMediaTM 256AV with 2.5 MB video RAM
and 128-bit Accelerator;
-> works fine with XFree86 (1024x768)
* Integrated Ethernet interface - 10Base-T/100Base-TX
-> works fine with the fxp driver
* PC Card slots - Supports one Type II Card; CardBus Support
-> seems to be working with PAO3
(got CD-ROM (PCGA-CD51) working)
not-working items:
* Modem - Integrated V.90 Modem
* Digital Audio - 16-bit playback and record
(In Z505, these are gone from the bios setup menu...)
* Floppy disk drive - External USB 1.44 MB, 3.5"
-> but used to boot the FreeBSD installer
haven't tried:
* Built-in Sony Memory Stick media slot
-> disabled
* i.LINK$(D"n(B (IEEE-1394) interface for DV still capture
I had to disable the memory stick slot in the bios setup to install
FreeBSD.
