[rescue] Sun 3 Update and cable needed

[Steve Hatle]

An update on the Sun 3...

A local friend loaned me a Sun 3 keyboard/mouse combo, and the machine 
boots up correctly! L1-A goes to the PROM monitor, where "h" returns the 
full PROM menu.

Runs of the memory test come back clean, so I'm feeling pretty good that 
the machine can be considered functional.

This week I will try and figure out a SCSI solution, and also look into 
setting up netbooting to further verify things.

Thanks to everyone so far for your help!

Steve

> I suggest getting Sun original part number cable:
