With multiple modminers, I can't view all of my devices on cgminer as it shows each fpga on a line.  This causes to many lines and I can't see every device.  Are you able to consolidate it back to where each board has a line.  
No, because the original consolidated code meant that the (almost) independent boards were not independent and were not storing independent data for each board and some commands and failures would affect all 4 boards unnecessarily and independent data details were being consolidated (and the independence lost).

It's best to think of an MMQ as 4 Ztex boards.
However, the only thing shared is the USB MCU, which is resolved (shared) by locked access to it.
Or even like a BFL MiniRig - again, one physical device, but multiple independent devices in cgminer, with locked (shared) access to the USB

When I rewrote the MMQ code, I made them 4 independent devices with only one common thing, shared, locked access to the USB MCU.

If you have too many devices on the screen there are 3 things to try:
1) make your terminal windows bigger
2) use --compact
3) use the RPC API to view the full details of all devices (e.g. with miner.php or other such API interfaces)
