	You can do it yourself. I have done it many times at my computer store,
however, I have forgotten the value of the resistors.  But I will tell
you everything else.

	On the controller board of the hard drive unit itself, torward the back
(where the cables connect) there will be 3 resistor banks, usually
yellow and I believe, 8 pins. If you see these, then the terminators are
installed. If they aren't installed, then all you will see are the flat
connectors where they plug into.  You can look (if possible) at the
internal drive you have in you machine.  If it is an SE, then the drive
is most likely installed in the machine controller side up.  I think the
values of the resistors are 10K or 100K.  I also don't remember if the
resistors are the straight through or parallel network type resistor.  Sorry.
