I have a bunch that use 1/8 watt resistors. If your run is under 100
feet, you really don't need to terminate LocalTalk lines at all.
I still have some 3000 Ft LocalTalk runs around here, and they do need
termination, but for things that are close, it really doesn't matter.
Some LocalTalk Adapters are Self-Terminating as well.
