This one does not have a handle that I can find.  There is a sliding
door over the tape drive, and then a plastic key sticks out the front
of the panel kind of like the keylock on a pc.  If that key is the
handle, then, I will open it up tomorrow when I visit surplus again
to pick up a postscript printer, and see what is there.  If that key
is not the handle, then it was not obvious what was on that side of
the box that should be the ``handle'' to open it up.
