That's not true, because the drives had to be configured to 1 or 2. They
came factory default as 1. In order to daisy chain them, and allow them to
work together, you had to cut a trace in one of the drives, which would make
it 2.
The Radio Shack geeks like myself would then add a toggle switch which would
allow the drive to be either 1 or 2, you know, in case the first one died.
But I do remember that syntax well,8,1. I believe the syntax for the tape
drive (as in data stored on an audio cassette <grin>) was ,6

The 1541 drives could operate daisy chained. Load "filename",8,1 signified
the disk drive (1), simply specifying Load "filename",8,2 would load from
the second drive.
Just some trivia...
