Only devices No. 8 or 9.

I have 2 1551s and 1 1541 online connected with my Plus/4, then if you need anything other info, then ask me for!

Be informed, in particular:

1) When first 1551 is on, and 1541 too, both with the same device No. 8,
then OS 'talks' only with 1551. (Having no problem whether 1541 is on).

2) The second 1551 named as device No. 9 works ONLY if the first 1551 is on.
No possibility to work with 1541 (No. 8) and 1551 (No. 9)
