I can bring the machine - but actually what I was referring to was the
case that fits around (some of) the hard drives.  That Model of
Toshiba's Dynabook came with a case around the hard drive that made it
easy to remove the drive - basically a laptop version of those cases
that you needed to put desktop computer HDDs in for removable slots.
I'm looking for a picture on-line.  In the meantime, these pages
should give you some idea of what's involved in opening up the
machine:

There's a pretty good picture of one here:

Notice the center cover next to the floppy slot?  That is the cover
for the hard drive.  Remove the cover and there's a small pull-out
handle that - when pulled - removes the hard drive (in a case).  Some
of my old drives are in that kind of case.
