I've got an Epyx Fastload cart and a Fastload cart with a Jetload ROM in it. 

I don't know much about Jetload except that it was a ripoff/clone of Fastload
with some mods made to it. Comparing the two ROMS results in several
differences, but nevermind that for now.

I think Fastload or may it was Jetload, or both, had a way to change your active
device number. By default, Fastload/Jetload goes to device 8. I thought there
was a way to do some odd command, like >#9 or &9 or something to change the
device to 9, other than doing a POKE186,9 command.

Does anybody recall this?  Thanks in advance!

I'm not aware of FastLoad having this feature (perhaps it's Jetload) -- at
least, it's not in my documentation, and it just generates a disk drive
syntax error. I just POKE186,dev to get the desired effect (or OPEN15,dev,15:
CLOSE15, which accomplishes the same thing).
