There used to be a classic little utility called 'Cylon' that would flash the 4 keyboard lights back and forth on ye olde SparcStations...
...in fact a bit like the Cylon's in Battlestar Galactica!!! :-)

Also I wondered if it was possible to output morse code on the scroll lock LED.
You can make the keyboard LEDs do lots of fun things! as Neill suggests a quick look on Freshmeat would probably bring up the correct results. and a quick google search says look here http://www.sudac.org/~napolium/linux/ and here http://sourceforge.net/projects/ditdah/

The old Suns (3/60s I think) also had a strip of leds on the back of the case that did this Cylon thing to let you know it was running ok. Although this may of just been remembered wrong but it was something like that.
