The 1541 was a single sided 5 1/4" floppy disk for the [[Commodore 64]].  It utilized a serial connection to the host computer, and was better known for being SLOW.  On reset, the 1541 would crash the head to 'find' the home sector making this a very LOUD drive, giving the impression that it was broken.

The drive housed a [[6502]] CPU, memory and ROM set that made the 1541 almost a full computer onto itself, which also kept its cost up very high.

The 1541 was also used in the portable business version of the Commodore 64, the [[Commodore SX-64]]. A slow floppy drive turned out to not be what the corporate business world wanted.
