Like Spiro said, later 1541 are write compatible to cbm-drives.
But The 3040, 4040, 2031 HP have different heads than the 1541 has.

I had a 4040 connected to my MMF and wrote disks for it with my
1541_at_zoomfloppy.
But after some month I have problems to read the disks - I also tried the
2031HP - the same problems.
Both drives are perfectly adjusted and cleaned by me - incl. speed
adjustment.
Fresh good 1541-written disks work great, but with the time I get problems.
I also tried other 1541-drives to write disks - but still read problems...

But The disks I wrote in the 4040 itself are running perfectly.

I think the older cbm-drives have different write and or output power in the
analog part.

PS: Now I use only 8050 /sfd1001 disks in all my PET/cbms - and no problems
anymore.
