Actually, if you're that poor, you could just rest the board on a convenient
insulating surface.  I believe that the power supply is plug-compatible with
that for an SS[12], which you should be able to find easily enough.

It'd be tough to add a board to a machine with no expansion bus.

Beware that the 3/80 has a "sun3x" kernel architecture, so if you don't have
3x os media you won't be able to boot it.
