On closer inspection, the termination resistor pack beside the "B" 
connector on my KDJ11-A is cracked.  How critical are the termination 
resistors, and what value resistor pack do I need?

Looking at circuit diagrams for termination cards, it looks like I want 
220 ohm resistors, going to +5V.

How critical are the bus termination resistors?
