I did manage to get them out. They weren't backwards after all,
somehow they got in there so tight - not even corroded, the contacts
are gold - that the levers wouldn't lift them out. Now the system
won't boot with any RAM configuration (I have 4x32, 4x64, and 4x128
modules that came installed, and 8x128 that I just bought) - hard
disks spin up and CPUs are both running but nothing shows up on my
monitor, I can't get to the OpenBoot prompt (I'm using a Creator 3D
series 3 with a Dell LCD). I'd try a serial console but the only other
computer I have with serial ports is PA-RISC box on another floor that
doesn't even have an OS installed.
