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?
