[rescue] Sun 3 Update and cable needed

[Plamen Mihaylov]

Bear in mind that the new cables from Amazon for example, DD50 to CN50 have
their pins straight and it's not going to work on your machine.
I suggest getting Sun original part number cable:
530-1501, 530-1568, 530-1435 or 530-1593
Good luck!
