I wanted to share another version of the schematic for the 885/886, below.
I didn't do a detailed comparison to the schematics that have already been posted to this thread and uploaded to KO4BB, but it appears to be a more recent version.
One thing I did notice is a little section labeled "USB PORT". I have an 886 and it's not spec'd to have a USB port, but it's there! It's well hidden under a bar-code sticker, which is on top of a thin gray piece of stick-on plastic that exactly matches the case color, which is on top of a small piece of stick-on rubber. See photo.
Plugging in the USB, from linux dmesg:

The USB port works (9600/8/N). It appears to operate the same as their benchtop version of this meter, the 889B. You can find the commands and data formats documented in the 889B manual.
I never really thought much about the "Remote" label on the front of the meter. Maybe there's a problem with USB and they withdrew support for it, or maybe they didn't want it to encroach on 889B sales. Maybe it's not on all versions of the 886.
