The link below will show you what software upgrade is available for your unit from Humminbird; looks like it should be 6.640 after your unit is upgraded you may be able to use your chip.

If not you can find older chip versions here. They have version 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 etc.
Humminbird Fishfinders - Humminbird Depth Sounders - Humminbird ChartPlotters
Mine is 3.0 version
Have you tried the card in the 1197 ...??

Just got in mail today. I am going to boat tomorrow to see if works. Just been reading where people have had problems but not sure what version
Post results after you try the card at the current software level ...
You can verify the software level in the unit by making the "System Status" view visible under the Views tab ...
