No connection with the 4284/4285s that I am aware of, but for the 3245A, Xdevs has a good set of documents for this (including CLIP, which is very complete and good res, and includes option 002), high res pics, and a very thorough overview of the unit.

Are the circuit diagrams available? I found an option 002 board (accessory control) for the 4284A or 4285A LCR meters. Since I have both meters, I was tempted to make a copy of the board. These would be one hell of a lot easier with the circuit diagram, as it would be less error prone than trying just to copy the traces. Unfortunately the only circuit I have is in the 4285A manual, and that is unreadable (even one from Artek, although that's more readable than another copy). That board is quite simple - just 74 series logic chips, a fuse and a few decoupling capacitors. I realize other boards are not so easy to copy.
