Questions for our HP specialists. I can't open the case of the HP 264x
terminals I just got. I see from the manual there is a small slot on the
side in which you have to insert a "key". Is the key just a small blade tool
or does it have to be more special shape than that?

Yepp, it's just a small blade; you could use a strong paper clip or a
small blade screwdriver instead.

At least for all of mine, a paperclip wouldn't do it - not strong enough.
Small flat blade screwdriver will work. As I recall, it's just to slide a
metal catch one direction or the other.

Lock pick kits are only 20 bucks...

A knife will also work; I've still got my 'key' from when I used to work with
HP1000 systems, and it's simply a flat piece of metal.
