According to the 1541 disk manual, the drive should be turned on before
the computer is powered up.  If the drive is turned off, it should not
be turned on again until the computer has been powered off.

Questions:  What happens if you connect all your equipment to a power bus
	    for simultaneous power-up?  What kind of damage can happen
	    to the computer if the power-on rule is violated?
