No, you CAN use the 1581 disk drive with an un-modified C-Power (Power-C).
It looks just like a very large 1541.

The modifications I made to C-Power allowed you to make efficient use of
partitions on the 1581. It allows you to have you library files in
one partition, and you source files in another partition.

You are correct in that Ram Disks are not supported by C-Power.
