Eep, good question.

>Q2) Do all empty slots need to have bus grant boards?

No, you need them when you break the "Snake". As long as you have them in
the looping pattern anything after the last card can be blank. Of course
the trick is knowing how the pattern goes, and I can't remember. It varies
depending on the backplane you have. IIRC, you've got a BA123, and the
first three slots have to have either a Quad board, or only a double board
in the top, after that it starts snaking with the fourth slot. IIRC, the
fourth slot starts at the top.
