On the top of the cartridge there is bunch of clips in a circular
pattern.
If you squeeze all these in at once, either carefully with your fingers
or with some tube that is just the right size to squeeze them all in at
once, you can then slide the clear cover off the top.
The tape is a bit fiddly to wind back up and get back under the cover
once you have it opened.

a trick to it. (Apart from having the mass storage system itself.)
Many thanks to you for your information and also to Mr Kossow who
kindly let
me have some of these.
