The door that covers the rear ports on the 600E (for printer
and external monitor) is indeed held in place by
double-sided sticky tape.
I have one right here, already disassembled, that I'd be happy
to let go for $71.25 or trade. You'd have to provide your own
tape, as the existing tape is decidedly un-sticky.
I also have an extra cover for the 701's PCMCIA ports, which
I'll sacrifice for $149.95 (or less in small unmarked bills).
:-)
For that matter, in return for sufficient inducement, I'd part
with the floppy cover from my 600E. It has "never been used"
because I don't have an external floppy.
