MMCI-USB Drivers (Lowrance)

Drivers for the Lowrance SD/MMC Interface Card Reader

Note:  If your MMC-USB Card Reader states that it is a "LEI 2.0 MMC/SD" card reader, rather than a Lowrance label (see image above), do not install these drivers. Use the drivers on the LEI MMC-USB 2.0 Drivers page. If your MMCI-USB Interface Card Reader has a LEI label, but does not refer to "2.0", use the drivers on the LEI MMCI-USB 1.1 Drivers page.

Installation

Caution:
Some older PCs running Windows 98 or Windows 98SE may have hardware issues that cause conflicts with USB ports.

Some of the symptoms include Windows shut down problems or the system locks-up while performing various functions.

If you experience these problems after installing your card reader, uninstall the card reader and its driver software, then visit the web site www.usbman.com for possible solutions or contact our Customer Service Department at 800-324-1356 for assistance.

Note:  Install the driver first, before plugging in the MMC reader.

1. Turn off all other applications (we recommend that you disable any virus scanning software before beginning the installation.  You can turn the virus scanning program back on after driver installation is complete.  To do this, refer to the virus scan software's instruction manual.)
2. Click on the Download Driver button below.
3. Download the zipped file "USBdrivers.zip".
4. Unzip the file into a temporary folder. In this folder you will find several files needed to install the USB drivers for your PC.
5. Find and run "Setup.exe".
6. Follow the on-screen instructions.
7. When the installation program is finished, shut-down you computer.  Next, plug the reader into a USB port and turn you computer back on.
8. As Windows starts, you will see it find your new hardware and software.  After the "new hardware" messages disappear, your reader is installed.  You can now transfer files to and from your MMC card or SD card.  You can also format your cards.  Under "My Computer" Windows will display your MMC reader as a removable disk drive.
9. Remember to restart any virus scan software you may have disabled.

Installation instructions for the MMCI-USB Interface Card Reader are available on our manuals page.

Note:  If you computer does not have a USB port, please contact our Customer Service Department at 800-324-1356.  We can exchange your USB card reader for a parallel port MMC reader.  The parallel port version does not read SD cards.
