This is an extremely useful command as it soon tells you how many bad sectors are on a microdrive.
However, I have a Trump Card here with v2.12 TK2 and the Level 2 drivers.
Oddly enough FORMAT ram1_mdv1 does work to test a cartridge, BUT if you look at the files which are created in ram1_, they are corrupted (for example, a simple boot program actually stores the directory for the microdrive).
The microdrive is not corrupt - tried the command on another Trump Card and it works fine.
So, does anyone know if the trump card might be faulty - maybe a memory chip (although every other command seems to work fine as does running programs).
The other option might be a problem with the level 2 drivers as implemented on the chip. Does anyone have a trump card with these installed to try it out? I don't want to throw out the level 2 driver chip, so if there is a working version, perhaps Tony would be so kind as to blow me a new chip??
Can't you tell I'm having a couple of days of problems....
