No Problems under Linux everything works.
USB2, touchpad, DVD writing, ethernet, graphics card, sound etc
I have not tried the inbuilt modem, firewire, parallel or serial ports, but they are detected during bootup.
The Panasonic drive in the laptop broke after 6 months, I replaced it with an NEC DVD+RW and that works fine.
I have the s-video out working with xinerama to my TV, my xorg.conf is below. This worked with the i810 driver included in the vector distro.

I have tested the same things under windows, in 9x the USB does not work. I cannot find drivers for the chipset. :(
Under XP and above the USB does work.

I would say this laptop is ok, but as it is a japanese only laptop, nec support is poor. The best thing about the laptop is the screen, which is excellent, the clearest I have used. The supplied DVD-RW was poor quality and region locked and I`ve read many bad reports of it. I am generally happy with the laptop, but cosmetically it is looking a little dated.

My /etc/xorg.conf file
