I fear I have answered my own question as to whether I have a
hardware problem since I am unable to run the Apple Hardware Test at
all.
Upon inserting the original OS disk and restarting while holding
down the option key, my eMac will grind for a moment then fill the
screen with the options I would expect. In my case from left to
right I get: a Leopard button over a plain button with a circular
arrow, next to that I have a Tiger button at center left, next to
that the Panther CD start up disc in center right position, and the
Apple Hardware Test Button over a plain button with an arrow
pointing right at the farthest right section.
My mouse is showing up as a wristwatch with the hands revolving and
that is where I stay. The mouse will not select any button, no key
combo (tab, arrow, option everything etc) seems to be able to
highlight and select any icon, and there I sit. Even after waiting
10 minutes I am dead in the water.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Try to insert the disc while power up, hold the "D" key to access the
AHT.
