I have a love/hate relationship with the 1541s. Just the absolute worst drives ever released to the public, but it was that or tapes and while most will agree that the 1541 was a slow FDD, waiting 30+ mins to load a tape (don't forget to flip it) was much worse. Then copy protection companies decided that the very best way to CP software was to create unreadable/unwritable sectors and let the drive slam the head against the arrester trying to read it, because they didn't have to replace the drive. That was a you problem.
