Today I picked up a Hayes Transet 1000, and I don't know anything about
it! It comes in the classic Hayes extruded aluminum case with black
plastic caps on either end. It is one of the older products as it uses
the 13.5vac wall-wart.
The panel at the user end has 8 LED indicators and 3 pushbutton
switches. The indicators are numbered and identified from left to right
as listed below:
1 PWR
2 RDY
3 MRK
4 RPY
5 A
6 B
7 C
8 D
The switches are lettered and identified as follow:
X SELECT
Y MARK
Z REPLAY
At the 'business' end there are three D-sub connectors in assition to
the 3-pin AC power connector. The D-subs are as follow:
15s PORT P1
9p PORT S1
9s PORT S2
Does anyone have any information about this critter - better yet,
documentation - or ever used one?
Thanks!

In addendum to my own email, I did what I should have done first and
dumped the EPROM. The TRANSET is a Mailbox based on a 68008P8
processor, a R6522P, a Z8530PS, and 16 MCM6665BP20 (64k? chips).
The EPROM speaks to a printer, which likely uses the P1 port with the
orphan connector. Guessing that the Sn ports connect to input/output,
but not sure in what form.
