Recently purchased a used Humminbird Matrix 97 from a member on here. The software is way out of date, probably original, and I'm trying to save all of the waypoints for the previous owner. I attempted to do so using a 2GB standard SD card but the unit would not read/recognize the card to update the software nor to save waypoints. I tried many different things to get the unit to recognize the card including complete formatting of the card, restoring the unit to factory defaults, etc. But to no avail. So I'm thinking I need the Humminbird pc connect cable. I'm hoping once I get the software up to date the card reader will then be able to save all of the waypoints to my SD card. Does anyone have a source for the cable? I see there are 2 kinds, AS PC2 and AS PC3. It think the only difference is one uses a serial port and the other uses a USB port. I'm guessing either will work with my unit?
In the meantime, I'm going to try a smaller 1GB SD card. Apparently the older software works best with smaller SD cards. The small standard ones are hold to get ahold of nowadays though. Everything is SDHC now, which of course will work with my unit AFTER the software update. Figures!!
