A plug connector via which the tape recorder is connected includes line connections for data signal lines and control signal lines as well as power supply lines. The plug connector, when the tape recorder is not plugged in is covered by a pivotable door arranged at a wall surface of the computer housing, the door also including means for securing the tape recorder in the plugged position.
