WTB: Vyper Download Kit

[MAK52580]

I am trying to buy a Suunto Vyper download kit, wireless or other, preferably with a USB connection for a decent price. Does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Please respond or PM me if you wish to remain anonymous.

Don't know if this is accurate, but I was told that you can only get a serial connection, USB is not available. You can get a serial to USB adapter if your computer doesn't have a serial port.

Actually, Suunto did release a USB adapter a couple of months ago. DiveTank.net has them.

Absolutley !! I got mine from Divetank. Catch is, with the USB, it only works on SDM v.2.x.x You may (or may not) like the new interface. I did manage to port my SDM1.6 logbook into v2.x.x without any problems, and got the interface running properly the first time.

A word of warning....DO NOT plug the Suunto USB cable into your PC until AFTER you have installed the Suunto USB drivers from the CD or from the Suunto website. You'll never get it working if you leap ahead and plug it in before loading the drivers (unless you're good at reconfiguring your USB settings on the PC).

Ciao,

Can only second this. Got an USB interface (surprisingly; I expected a serial one) and installed the software on all PC's we have (several times), each with a different windows version. Didn't work untill I downloaded all the newest versions of the SW and drivers from the Suunto site. It is working on XP and '98 now.

The adapter won't work for me with the Suunto serial cable.... sucks that I haven't been able to download my Vyper.

One of these days I'll spring for the USB cable.... maybe.
