Ok this is getting weirder and weirder! I put an install disk in (don't ask me which system) and the computer showed a happy mac then about 5 seconds later it spit the disk out and showed the floppy disk with a question mark. I'll order another PRAM battery because the one I replaced the old one with I pulled from an iMac G4 with it's own set of problems.
This likely means it found a system on the disk but it turned out to have a problem. The problem could be that it's the wrong OS for that system (either the OS in general doesn't support the system or it is customized for a different system) or that something is corrupt on it, including read errors.
