The 1541 can keep open at most either 3 sequential files at once, or 1
relative and 1 sequential one.

I *believe* that the command and error channel (15) is special. Whenever
you issue a command (that is, write to it), the command is directly
processed (cf. $C146-$C193 in the floppy code).

Wenn reading the error channel, there is a special buffer area in the
floppy available for this ($02D5-$02F8).

Thus, I believe channel 15 does not count in the picture above. But, of
course, this would have to be verified.

Regards,
   Spiro.
