Well, at very least you should be able to go to NetBSD for the Sun 3/80
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/sun3/
As far as I know, there are 68k versions of Linux... lets see if we can
find something that relates specifically to the Suns...
http://friendly.netppl.fi/~pp/sun3/
however.. this page seems to imply that the 3/80 is quite different and
points to this page:
http://www.abandoned.org/nemon/sun3x/
this page, even though having been updated recently, seems to be out of
date...
and of course there is
http://www.linux-m68k.org/
which, for the sun 3 section, really just points to the .fi page above,
but there might be additional information here and there..
and I found the following in my journeys, which might help current or
future questions...
http://www.squirrel.com/squirrel/sun-nvram-hostid.faq.html
(apparently there is a battery problem with sun nv ram)
also OpenBSD has an effort underway, but it is not complete (you would
probably do better helping out NetBSD..they get their codebase there)
