What am I doing with it?

The Model 80-A31 is presently in use as a file server for my token ring network.

As for the Model 80-311, I was using it to run my home automation stuff, and I also did a lot of batch file programming there. Unfortunately, it seems that there has been a hardware failure someplace involving the hard disk, controller, and planar, so I've retired the 80-311 for now.
