The Derringer memory should not be in conflict with the graphics card.
Is it possible to fully disable the RAM on your controller card? If just to
narrow the possibilities.
You say "the card" was listed as defective. Could you clarify wether it was
the graphics or harddisk controller?
Freeing RAM on the controller should have done it to my knowledge.
I have a Derringer with a 32-meg SIMM in it (and an FPU), a GVP series-II
hard/ram board (with 8 megs ram) and a GVP Spectrum 2 meg card. When I
disabled 2 megs on my controller card (by jumper alone, even today I still
have 8 megs worth of SIMMs in it) my graphics card stopped reporting to be
defective.
