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.
