Thanks  for the replies, but I wanted to know if I could access the  internal
program without converting the data port.
It looks like the  answer is no, so time to dis-embowel this thing and  modify
it.

Hi Dick
 
In theory, the answer ought to be "yes" but, having bought an  RS422 card a 
few years ago specifically to avoid having to convert my  Z3801A I never did 
manage to get it talking and did the conversion anyway.
After that, no problem:-)
 
The modification might seem a bit daunting at first but really is very  
straightforward and does make life a lot easier.
 
regards
