entry for each active device known to NitrOS-9.  devs does not display information
for uninitialized devices. The devs display header lists the system name,
the NitrOS-9 version number, and the maximum number of devices allowed in the device table.

Each time a user executes a chd to an RBF device, the use count of that device
is incremented by one.  Consequently, the Links field may be artificially high.
