Is there any way to reset the card to defaults?

The cart has been working fine for the couple weeks I've had it until I went into options and togged sorting.
From that moment on, I can't get past:

>>> Reading Data from Card <<<

- I've tried different SD Cards, and restored the stock SD 5200 directory that came with the AtariMax, same results
- Different SD Cards, with just the 5200\sd5200.set and 5200\sd5200.sto, same results
- When I turn it on with no SD, I get Error 03: Cannot Read SD Card
- When I turn it on with a blank Fat32 card, I get Error 03: Cannot Read SD Card
- I can boot with the P1 Fire and get into diagnostics, all tests pass

Any way to factory reset the card?

says: "The settings on this screen are saved internally to the cartridge flash and apply to all cards inserted, unless overridden by a configuration INI file on the currently inserted card."

If i knew the filename and syntax/format of the INI file, I could turn put the sorting settings back and maybe bring the card back to life enough to resave the internal settings.

Anybody know what this INI file looks like?

UPDATE: Ugg, I got confused, that documentation link is for the ColecoVision Ultimate SD. But still, this 5200 Ultimate SD still describes the INI file: https://www.atarimax.com/5200sd/documen ... pter4.html Maybe its called SD5200.INI?
