Wasn´t there a way to reset the logic board via Open Firmware?
If I can remember, it was command+option+O+F then it leads you to
the open firmware screen (kinda a Unix terminal) in which you could
just type "reset all" and enter...
The failing memory card also sounds to me... But if you could get
even to the first part of the installer (up to the agreeement text
and so and so) I assume there would not be a matter of misplaced
cards but maybe an error either on the memory, or on the reading of
the installer disc. I´d also suggest to try with another CD unit,
if possible...

Now I'm off to read the seller the riot act...
Try stripping out all cards and all but one stick of ram. You may
have a bad
stick, you could have more than one bad stick, or it could (and
very likely
is) something altogether unrelated to ram. See if you can get your
hands on
an Apple Hardware Test disk for that specific machine. Go slow on
yellin at
the seller. There's plenty of room for them to be acting in error
rather
than falsely. I sell a lot of stuff and (though I've had plenty of
occasions
when I was in error) I have had some buyers really embarrass
themselves by
reacting in haste. Also, try re-setting the logic board. I don't
remember if
the DA has a cuda switch, but most model have some routine for re-
setting
the logic board.
