[rescue] SUN 3/80

Looks like the Sun 3/80 I was given some time ago (that I just got
around to trying to do something with) is kaput...

The NVRAM is bad, so it defaults to a diag mode, and immediately
fails pretty promptly on either a memory or I/O test.

I tried swapping out all the SIMMs... no good, still bad (I do have
the P4 graphics card out... although I'm sure the 3/80 could run w/o
a graphics card so I doubt that would have anything to do with it).

So... does anyone out there have a 3/80 motherboard kicking around ?

(I thought I did, but I don't seem to locate it anywhere, so I must
have given it up some time ago :-( ).

Getting that Sun 3/50 recently got me into starting to do something with my
old Sun gear.... and while I had the terminal setup I thought I'd test
the 3/80 and was dissapointed (but I can't complain... it was free).
