RE: Format 128K RAM Card in 48GX
If PINIT doesn't fix it I'm not sure of next steps. There is no format command that I recall, PINIT was added in the GX to accomplish that by restoring the proper headers, etc to be able to access the card. On Normal RAM cards, simply removing the battery did a full wipe and then one used PINIT.

Two things to try:

1. Toggle the read/write switch a couple times to ensure it's not the casue

2. Just write some variable to the card and see if it works - this was the normal way of restoring a RAM card on an SX (since it did not have PINIT)
