This has always questioned me.
Does HP-71B behaves the same way ?

No, the HP-71B explicitly uses a particular unit for any mass storage operation, specified by a HP-IL address, a device or class identifier, or even a volume name.

The HP-41C uses the loop as automatically as possible for display/printer and mass storage operations (also for plotter with the PLOTTER ROM - unfortunately not yet available as a virtual device).

At the time, it was very unusual to use multiple units with the HP-41C, except for medium duplication, so these limitations had little importance.
