Protocol

Communication with the 54600 Series is over the RS232 port on the back, or via the floppy drive. The RS232 protocol is described in the Programmer's Guide.

Floppy Drive

The floppy drive is a TEAC FD-05HF.

The Gotek SFR1M44-DU26 USB floppy emulator is compatible once modified & flashed with FlashFloppy firmware. See TDS3000 series oscilloscope floppy drive replacement for an overview of the process
