(HP71B) HP-IL PILBOX ILPER ILVIDEO setup; HowTo?

[floppy]

Hello,

in order to achieve the access to 2 different virtual drives for the same HP-IL + PILBOX + ILPER + ILVIDEO configured HP-IL loop, I am trying to make the setup in the attachment.

However, now how to reach all these
a) HDRIVE16.DAT
b) VIDEO
c) PRINTER from the HP71B ?
(so far not successfull. PILBOX seen at COM11, however due to lack of knowledge, currently lost for reaching HDRIVE16.DAT).

And YES: I am reading the manuals.

HP71B should reach the HDRIVE16.DAT; later I will take this HP71B out and put an HP41 in the same loop without changing anything, then the first drive seen in the loop = HDRIVE1.DAT, should hopefully been seen.

Background: having this setup starting automatically on an ARM headless board, whatever I will connect it to the ARM, the HP71B and HP41 should be able to find the drive. HP41 has its own HDRIVE1.DAT. HP71B has its own HDRIVE16.DAT (clear separation of data).

UPDATE: HP41 could connect to HDRIVE1 and PRINTER after unclicking the IDY Frame box in the PIL-BOX Bridge. Will check now the HP71B. Progress made. HP71B connect now to the loop. Reaching the 2nd drive HDRIVE16.DAT still not achieved.
