I've finally managed to figure out how to serve out files from my own PC at home, so I've now made the Hi Res scan of the CMD HD manual available on my personal website.  Enjoy!  :)

Just to clarify a few points...

Both the "high quality" (aka Hi Res) and "high compression" (aka Lo Res) versions of this manual that I've made available on my website were downloaded from a guy who made them available for a short time a few months back following a post on the comp.sys.cbm newsgroup.  I could probably have done a better job at scanning these if I had done the scans myself, but I didn't.  I'm just making them available for others to download who may not have had the opportunity to download them during the short time they were available earlier in the year.  Since scanning a document of this size is very time consuming, I don't see a point in doing it again when it's been done already just to try to get the file size down.  As it is, there are two different version to choose from: Lo Res for those who don't have the bandwidth capacity for a larger download, or Hi Res for those who have no problem downloading larger files and would like the better quality images.

Thanks Andrew.... Now all I need is to find a CMD Hard Drive :)

64HDD supports many of the CMD hard drive commands, especially in the Pro version. I'm sure I'll find some useful things in there.

I'll eventually download the hi-res version and put it into my 'to do' folder. Cleaning up scans is a time -consuming process, but less so than rescanning. Rescanning the hi-res ones shouldn't be necessary at all, from what I've seen of the lo-res ones. Once cleaned up, they can be put into a PDF and OCR'd. That will take some time, and I'm not sure where it fits into all the other stuff I have in the queue. Life's just too short. :(
