I don't think you'll have much luck getting the original SoftCard CP/M to work 
on the Microdrive.  If you can locate a PCPI Applicard (aka MicroPro 
Starcard), my ProPartition package (recently let into the wild as free 
software) will let you use any volume recognized by ProDOS for CP/M.

I have a CP/M volume carved out of one partition on my CFFA at the moment and 
there's no reason it won't work with the Microdrive.
