In all honesty with a machine like that, I have a few handy suggestions:

1. Use it as a coffee table.
2. Use it to stop a maritime vessel from drifting.
3. Use it to block a door shut.

As you can see, I'm not singing the praises of your D-Class. They run
the world's most awful commercial Unix, and the hardware is antique and
slow without the charm of most other Unix hardware of the period. They
also burn power and create heat at a rate way out of proportion to their
processing power.
