What this manual does not contain

An owner's guide: no service procedures, part numbers or component data, and the memory configurations are left to the Technical Information booklet, which is not part of this PDF. Apple's service manual is Power Macintosh 8100/ WS 8150 Service Source. The earlier Power Macintosh 8100/80 Getting Started covers the first 8100/80 models.
