This is even possible using a quadportiec? Anyone have one?

The setup I am trying is:

Port 1 = sd2iec drive #8
Port 2 = 1581’s drive #8,9
Port 3= 1541’s #drive #8,9
Port 4 = 1571 # drive 10

When I have only port 1 on and the rest off, it doenst seem to work.
In fact I don’t
Get a ready prompt, unless I unplug all the other drives.
I have tried numerous ways to wire this up, but the quadportiec, I am

QuadPortIEC usage is still subject to the IEC bus rules, and I think 5
is the most devices I have ever seen on a chain. You're 1 over, maybe 2
(some computers are more sensitive, but 4 should always work).
