Csabo: yes. It's also very likely that they didn't intend it to be an 'I' just because there had been a 1540 drive before the 1541. (The 1540 is a 2031 drive with its IEEE-488 interface and ROMs replaced by "serial IEC" hardware and routines, ie. the first "serial IEC" drive that they introduced the VIC-20 with; the 1541 is just a small update upon the 1540 (...should I call it a re-badged 1540) with fixed ROMs for the newly introduced C64s slower serial routines). If they intended it to be 154I, they'd probably have called the 1540 '154O' instead... but obviously they didn't.
