Nope, all the 1541 ROMs have this bug.  Using the 0: always eliminates 
the problem, at least as far as I've heard; the bug is directly related
to attempted buffer allocation for a second drive (1:) when none is
specified.  This is due, of course, to the ancestery of the 1541 ROM
code in the 4040 drive which had more RAM and a second drive.

   A quote usually goes here, but its currently being rennovated.

	These opinions are my own, though for a small fee they be yours too.
