The specific issue of an open grant chain locking the Unibus is a quirk
of the M9302 terminator (which asserts SACK under such conditions). This
is unlikely to be a problem on an 11/10.

But you do need some kind of termination/pullups on the Unibus. At least
fit the CPU-end terminator (M930 in the right slot near the CPU boards) if 
you haven't done so already.
