Well, it appears that I ended up solving my own problem. The CDRW was
being picky, and it did not like one of my install CDs. I also later found
out that the version of OS 9 I have is apparently too old to boot on the QS.
The machine is working now! :)

I feel like I'm going to end up going crazy over this problem. I just
recently purchased a QS 933 machine, that was demoed for me TWICE now and
it worked perfectly at the seller's home, without any issue at all (tested
CD drive, various hard drives, etc.). Each time I have tried firing it up
at my house, it does the same thing. It chimes, boots to the flashing
question mark, and won't go further. I've tried a spare iMac hard drive,
and I have also tried various OS 9 and X CDs that I have laying around.
It appears to take a few seconds longer upon power up than it did when it
was at the non-cursed house. Has anyone seen this bizarre problem before?
Thanks,
Chris
