Use Notepad to type the configuration letters, then save the file with a .CFG extension, selecting "All Files" and "ANSI" encoding.
Possible causes include an incorrect filename extension, the board being in the wrong mode due to a missing or wrong CFG file, inserting the CF card while power is on, or using a CF card formatted in a non‑standard way.
