Yes it does... I have lots of the right kind of handles (since I used to
*make* Qbus boards).  I traded a box of handles for this CPU in the first

I'd actually like to get a cheap DS550 just to fiddle with - compact
enclosure and all.  I gave up on eBay two years ago because they were
going for a lot more money than I wanted to spend.
