Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 16B Built-in Hard Disk System Manual

The TRS-80 Model 16B Built-in Hard Disk System Manual is Radio Shack's 1983 owner's manual for the TRS-80 Model 16B with the built-in 15 MB hard disk. Its own title page calls it the "Read Me First" manual for the TRS-80 15-Meg Built-in Hard Disk System. The hosted scan has 90 pages. It is a getting-started manual for owners, not a service manual: it has no schematics, parts lists or disassembly procedures.
