I don't have a 241, but I ran into a problem when adding a 4038 to
my Z-100.  If both drives work fine by themselves, I suspect that
you have to change a jumper that tells the drive which unit it 
is.  Probably, both are set to  "0" since they each work fine alone.
Set the jumper for the new drive to the "1" position.  Use SETUP
to tell the 241 what drive is there.

My 4038 didn't come with documentation on this.  As I recall, the 
jumpers are near the bottom on the rear of the drive.  There is 
a set of 4 pairs of jumpers.  Probably, the jumper is on an end
pair (0); try moving it over to the next pair.

Disclaimer:  It's been three years since I did this and I don't
have documentation in front of me.  Not responsible for smoke & other
nastiness.
