i lost the magic russ gave me. my 505 had the odd gravity accident,
then sony smashed the mother board when all they needed to do was
to replace the keyboard, but i did have it booted. then i hit azerty
hell and i sort of gave up in disgust because of the amount of kernel
hackery i would have to do to type stuff and then be able to back up
what i'd hacked looked prohibitively dangerous.
smashed file-systems -- not my thing.
iirc you just need some plan9.ini magic.
i have a Z600-LEK now, bought after the second gravity accident.
i might put plan 9 back on my 505, but i have other more pressing
issues and from what i've seen of the keyboard driver (if i understand
it right) it will need major surgery to support azerty. screw that
up and you have the odd problem.
those vaios are cool, but weird. shame you can't buy 505s anymore.
