No the members of the RISC System/6000 family all have separate slots 
for memory cards and for MicroChannel adapters.  The two types of slots
are not interchangeable.  The POWERstation 320 has 4 MicroChannel I/O
slots and two slots for memory cards. 

I'm at home and don't recall the answers to your other questions, sorry.
