  I have always pointed my grant continuity cards in the
same direction as a
 NPG card, with the traces to the left/facing the last slot of the
 backplane.  I am 99% sure this is right but I was asked and I just want to
 be 100%...am I right?  In particular the traces point away from the CPU
 cards, at least on an 11/40 and 11/05.  Please just tell me I am not losing
 it.

If your system works properly, the grant cards are in the right way. If the
grant cards are installed wrong, or missing, it will cause serious
problems, and you're unlikely to be able to boot anything.
