Scroll down a bit and you'll see your FD1165S. He seems to be saying
that this was part of the PC8881 external drive box used with the
early PC9801 (which had no internal drives), but originally marketed
for the 8-bit PC8801:

Maybe someone has a manual for this thing...

Given the early date, I wonder if the S16
wasn't a re-badged NEC
PC9801E?
What color is the faceplate? If it's not black, but beige, that
would go toward confirming my suspicions.
Yep -- beige faceplate, with a dark grey latch handle.
The text on the drive's model number plate is:
MODEL FD1165 S
P/N 134-100390-121-0 [121 is handwritten]
SERIAL NO 162774 MFG DATE 1982/12 [12 is handwritten]
