One of my few remaining Holy Grail items, I got a Hayes Transet 1000
this week. My three-part Hayes stack is now complete.
I've scanned the manual and quick-ref card. The scan is not up to the
quality of my usual work, as I tried a new technique using a DSLR
instead of a scanner so I wouldn't have to take the manual apart. The
results are good enough to read, but that's about it. I'll re-do it
again someday with the proper tools. Here's the link:

I have two manuals for the config software (alas only the Mac version
of the software itself), which I'll try to do soon. I'll image the
Mac disk as well. If anyone has the PC version of the software, I'd
love it have it.

Excellent! In your Hayes explorations have you come across any technical documentation
for the Hayes Micromodem-100, the successor to the 80-103A? All that I've been able
to uncover is a marketing brochure. Would like to uncover more ...
Thank you,

Jason, you can send it my direction for scanning if you like. I built a
book scanner a while back to handle all the Crescent Software manuals I
have. Here's a fully processed example:

this morning.

I just watched your video on your DIY scanner - good work! I'll keep
it in mind, but I really ought to just do it over here and do a better
job of it. I'll get to it.
In the meantime, here is the Macintosh software that came with it. I
learned a bit about Mac disk formats when trying to image this one on
a KryoFlux. It came on a 400K disk, which is MFS, and Ciderpress
won't load it that filesystem, making me think it was a bad read.
Finally stuck it in MiniVMac and up it came. I transferred the files
to an 800K HFS disk image for convenience. Both are posted here:
http://nocarrier.net/archive/floppy_images/Hayes
It's a bootable disk with Finder 4.1, which I've never seen before.
Again, if anyone knows where the PC version of the software is, I'd
love to have it.

No worries. I figured I'd offer.
I'm glad you scanned it - I've got a Transet 1000 with no manual or power
supply. I had only the vaguest idea of what it did. ;)

Seems no one does for sure. There are some old ads and some posts
here and there (one from an ex-Hayes employee who confessed that he,
too, wasn't sure what it did or was supposed to do), but I've found
nothing from anyone who's used one to _do_ anything. So now we get to
piece it together.
Computer archeology is fun.

Another Transet just sold on eBay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/382925076475
And this one has the 5.25" PC software disk that mine did not. If anyone
here won the item, please make an effort to image the disk.
Interesting that the still rare but more common than the Transet
Chronograph, from the same seller, got over $100 more.
