QuadPortIEC, but you can also just switch the ATN line on the cable.
Disabling the ATN (Attention) line means the drive will not respond to
any commands.

Jim, don't you sell a device that's useful for temporarily switching

specific drives so the device numbers can be changed more easily?
First off, my bad - I thought the OP was wanting
to change the device ID
(which is not the drive number, btw**) on a genuine 1541. I'd have no idea
how it's done with one of the SD-based drive emulators.
Google is still a
friend:

There are no external switches on some of these drives.
But, the BASIC commands used to switch device numbers on the 1541 also work
on these units, and putting an extra char at the end of the command will
make the changes permanent, as I recall.
