Hi Jim - yes, that's what it is - a 2nd trigger. I don't know why I
never tried it with the battery pack connected. Actually, I just bought
a charger for it. I got the MD1 from a certain individual who isn't
welcome around here any more!! That was before the 'war' started. I
waited for a charger to come available on evil-Bay - but finally gave up
and just bought one from B&H. After charging it (the batteries are
suppose to be new), I examined the button and thought it was some kind
of lock.

Is the lock button and small slide on the MD-1 itself? I assume you have
the NiCad pack for your drive and are talking about the button and slide
on it. If, the button is a trigger button just like the big one on the
top of the Md-1 itself. The release on the battery pack is particularly
useful for firing the camera when shooting verticals. The lock locks the
button so that you don't fire the camera inadvertently from the button.
