I didn't know that - all the drives I've come across in all me years working
for VARs I've not come across a drive that didn't have the access panel. Are
yours older drives? Maybe the panel was added later because getting the lid
open without it is a right royal PITA.......
and NOW I'm thinking 'if I know it's a pain to get the lid off without the
panel maybe I DID see some drives without it' :)
