The entire technical documentation department at INMOS, in the early
1990s, ran on Sun 3/80s.  I have one in the collection here, plus a
junker (from another source) for spares.

They are indeed Sun 3 motherboards (68030) in a SparcStation-1 case.
SparcStation-1 drive sleds will fit, if you can get them.
