Ralf, Rich,
the manual says different (From the Trump card manual):
"   FORMAT ram1_mdv2          loads an image of mdv2 into RAM Disk 1
The RAM Disk can even load a Microdrive with a damaged directory. It
cannot, however, load a Microdrive with a damaged map."

Note the example - It's identical to what Rich tried to do, so it should work 
on drive 2, too. From what you write, Rich, I understand mdv2_ is working fine 
on other commands?
Did you try on a newly reset machine? 

Cheers,
Tobias
