Thanks for identifying that on a //e with two super serial cards, virtual drives run on slot 1, so communications need to happen on slot 2. I'm guessing that VSDRIVE's slot scan picks the lowered number slot first, even though on a IIgs or IIc it picks the modem port.

VSDrive (which uses the same communications backend as ADTPro) will always pick slot 2 for machines with built-in serial ports (IIc, IIgs, Laser 128, Franklin 500) as part of its automatic port enumeration. In the case of multiple SSCs, the logic counts down from slot 7 and remembers the last SSC it found - which in your case would be slot 1.

Nutshell: Built-in serial? Port 2. Multiple SSCs? Lowest slot. Got it.
