This is a very simple question but one for which I'm finding
conflicting answers. What is the (theoretical) maximum number of
devices on a FC-AL?

Here's a sampling:

127:
[snip] [127 or 126 max?]

I'd say you can have 127 devices on the loop, but at least one needs to be
an initiator (ie host adapter), to be actually useful. Having 127 target
devices (disk, tape) etc obviously does not produce much of use to anyone.
