Cool.  I have a 3/60 in the basement, with color frame buffer.  ISTR I
checked it out via serial console and that was fine.  It's been
sitting for a couple of years, waiting for me to get around to
finishing a Sun3/Sun4 keyboard/mouse adapter.  I _have_ an optical
mouse with the modular connector and the gold studs, but no Sun3
keyboard.  The protocols are the same, so I just have to finish a
DIN8-DA15 adapter and use slightly more modern external parts.  Once
that's done, I have to track down a SunOS kit.  I _think_ I have a
4.0.3 kit or something similar on QIC tape.  If 4.1.3_U1 still works
on a 3/60, I can probably borrow that locally on CD-ROM.

This is entirely for the exercise... I have more modern and slightly
off-topic machines (sun4m) for production server use.
