Thank you to the Vogons forum and everyone who posts here for all the knowledge that has been collected, and helped me many times restoring older machines over the years. There is so much information here for installing older operating systems and running older software and drivers.

Sony VAIO PCG-505

These early VAIO notebooks are incredible machines, especially these ultra slim subnotebook type. One could think that some macbooks were inspired by their design some 20 years later.

And repect for restoring one to its full original shape, not an easy task! I once restored one and it took a ton of patience...
