Something I've always wondered.
In the case of a 1541-II which I currently use.
Rather than having the drive powered up for ages not being used I tend to switch it off after I have loaded the software if the drive is not going to be used again for a while.
Only powering it up again when the Plus/4 is off.
Other than a little wear to the power switch over time is it safe to do this meaning it will not harm the Plus/4 switching the 1541-II off while the Plus/4 is running?
I just hate the idea of the the drive sat there doing nothing while powered up.
