If you haven't already you may want to have a look at documentation available on the K04BB web site for the 5680A, may luck out and get the serial port working.

Hi Bryan,

I don't know, so probably not. I'll try to make a dump of the firmware, and
see if that gets me anywhare. But thank you for your input - now I know
that units exist with the serial port disabled.
