[rescue] Sun 3/80 resources

[Dan Moisa]

Meaning put in a faster oscillator. This worked in the 3/60 since
every subsystem (serial, etc) is on it's own clock - works well at
25mhz with a 50mhz main oscillator for example.
I don't have the schematics for the 3/80, but I see a main oscillator
around 39Mhz and a bunch of other crystals spread around, so it might
be the same. I'll take it out/socket it and try it out, but I wanna be
extra careful given how hard it was to obtain this in the first place.

@Kurt I'd love to get more pointers from you!

@Dave Gmail is my price to pay for not wanting to complicate my life,
at least they stopped changing the UI every year.

Thanks,
Dan.
