Don:

If it is a LS-120, there should be Laser Warnings on the label. Also, the
ejection is motorized so the eject button is a "soft" (not mechanical) switch.

If the media slot is a bit taller than a 1.44MB diskette, I suspect you are
looking at a tape drive, which can attach to a 34-wire floppy data
connector (with its own "Y" ribbon cable) and may have a odd flywheel and
mounting threads for a 5-1/4" bracket.

HTH.
