Hayes made two modems for the S-100 bus. The first (ca. 1978) was the
80-103A, the second was the Micromodem 100 (using the same
Microcoupler as the original Micromodem II for the Apple).

That explains why my recollection was hazy. I have one of each and was
mixing the data on each in my head, so I went with the simplest

I did recall that the Micromodel 100 used the Microcoupler but then I
remembered the 80-103A didn't. The 80-103A used a device (which I'm now
forgetting the name of--damn cold) that you had to get from the phone
company in order to use it, back in the days of Ma Bell who was oh so
strict and oh so paranoid about what you plugged into her.

Well, with a little luck, I may be able to at least make up prints and
plans for a do-it-yourself microcoupler reproduction.
