The 1571 has dipswitches on the back -- be sure the 1571 is set to respond as device 8 (both dipswitches in the "up" position).
Also, if you have any 1551 drives attached (even if not turned on), they will take priority over a serial device of the same number. For example, a 1551 as U8 means that a 1571 cannot also be U8. This is different than the C64/128, where different drives can appear with a flip of their power switch.
There is no single chip that controls activity on the serial bus. Can you verify that the SD2IEC and 1571 work on a 64 or 128, using the same cable between the device and your 64 or 128?
