My sun 3/60 workstation froze the other day, red LEDs stopped and on 
reboot all 8 LEDs stay lit with nothing being output to the display.

I have isolated the problem down to the motherboard itself by swapping 
memory, SCSI devices and power supplies.

Results are always the same whether I try to boot with monitor/keyboard
or terminal on ttya, normal or diag mode.  All 8 LEDs light up and it goes
no further.  Nether break nor L1-A has any visable affect.

Obviously something's bad on the motherboard, question is what?  As I said
it died in normal opperation, it hadn't been taken apart or moved, one
minute it was fine the next it was dead.

If you've had or seen a sun 3/60 die like this please let me know what
cause and fix was so I can fix mine.

No, it's not under contract and tossing the motherboard and getting
another one is too expensive an option unless you know someone willing
to sell a 3/60 motherboard for under $100.  If I could narrow it down to
a chip or two that I could replace, that would be great!
