Does anyone have any info on the configuration of this port and how to access it? The manual says it is a modified RS-232c port. Maby it can used as a faster interface using some undocumented methods.

You need to configure a special RS 232 modified cable.

Jeff McClintock's "FZDump" utility has this info
(If you look around this Chat room long enough, you'll find that URL) or try here:
http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~stuart/FZ/cable.htm
This enables PC-To-FZ transfers, that is if you're
running FZDump on the PC. It's reputedly much faster
than MIDI-if you can get it to work.
You make your own cable, or I guess use one of those
partallel port adapters with little switches that let you re-route the connections.
There is also a spec (different) for building a FZ-to
FZ port dump cable, Mr. McClintock sent it to me some time ago, haven't tried it out yet.

If anyone knows if it's possible/how to connect a mac to
an FZ via RS422, I'd be very interested to hear fropm
you.... Maybe the only solution is to get a FZ20M and use
SCSI.

I HAVEN'T TRIED OUT THE RS422 SOLUTION. THERE IS A
WAY USING THE PC, BUT IT SOUNDS QUITE DANGEROUS TO
ME ! BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DESTROY EITHER
THE MAC OR THE CASIO (OR THE PC) I'M USING MIDI !!
I HEARD THAT THERE WAS A SAMPLE EDITOR 'ALCHEMY',
WHICH WAS ABLE TO SEND EVEN PROGRAMS TO THE CASIO !
