[rescue] sun 3/60 update

[Dan Moisa]

Alright folks here it is, courtesy of long weekend:
https://github.com/54weasels/sun3_60/

I still need to add the build log and a whole lot of other things. While
you can certainly print and build this version, I do recommend waiting one
more for some critical (correctable but annoying) fixes and more RAM. If
you have suggestions for how to organize the github better, or you find
something that doesn't work, pls let me know.

Tom is the other fellow engaged in decompiling the boot ROM, you can see
his work here: http://cholla.mmto.org/sun/sun3-60/
We still don't have the actual full sourcecode for the firmware, but a ton
of stuff is shared with the kernel first steps so we're making our way
through it.

As usual, if you have schematics/source code/documentation for sun3, always
on the lookout.

Thanks,
Dan.
