it should work, if you've got the dark gray cable (the same color as the pb)

normally, you wouldn't need a terminator between the devices. the 604's got
termination and the pb's got it too. -- the pb's got 'weak' termination and 
you might not get a 'good' connection if you add another resistor pak, or
terminator.

if i'm wrong, or if you doubt, check yr pb manuals. it should be in there.
