I have the manual here. I will try to remember to scan the appropriate
pages this weekend and will forward the URL. Don't be bashful to remind me
if I forget.
Is there anything in besides the switch settings you would like?

Subject: Help with CQD 220A/TM
Does anyone know or know where I can find the Dip
switch settings for this host adapter? I have a friend who
needs some help. The last time he tried:
http://www.cmd.com/
he was able to get the Dip switch settings, but now they seem
to restrict the site to specific users. Can anyone help?

Many thanks to everyone who replied. I still get the
"Username and Password Required" demand for:
http://www.cmd.com/
and for:
http://www.cmd.com/SupportInfo.cfm?ProdID=106
But, the following link do provide the switch settings:
http://www.cmd.com/Manuals/220A223ASwitchSettings.pdf
and
http://www.cmd.com/Manuals/220A223AInstallGuide.pdf
I find the whole thing sort of strange, but I do have the information
I require. Thanks again.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine

This is *really* weird, I'd followed a link to this earlier in the week and
got through no problem, I just followed the same link which turns out to
just be the above, and got the same result as you. This is *very* new, and
disturbing. I don't have the boards, but I just grabed the two PDF's you
provided URL's for.

If someone is able to acquire the board and there is no documentation,

I would guess that the lock on the URL is unnecessary if the
person knows the specific name of the manual. I suggest that
anyone who has the files save them and perhaps archive them.
Does anyone have the files for the CQD 220/TM - the original
board? Also, the CQD 200/TM. I tried a number of different
combinations such as:
http://www.cmd.com/Manuals/220TMSwitchSettings.pdf
without a hit.

Done deal, even though I don't have either of the boards (I wish!).
However, I would also like to point out that I had no trouble getting to
the switch settings or tech specs for the CQD-200 from the main page.
Perhaps the demand for user ID is a temporary aberration? It might be wise
to contact CMD about it rather than panicking. ;-) Lord knows I've had more
than one familiar web site pull such a stunt as a result of botched coding
or misunderstood directives.

Even more weird, Zane, as I accessed the basic URL just after I read
Jerome's e-mail and then again just after reading yours. In each case
without problem or request for ID. I did get a grumble when I tried to
access the /Manuals/ directory directly, and was advised that the
virtual directory was not available for browsing.
