How do I interface the floating point coprocessor?

How would I connect this http://www.parallax.com/Store/Components/IntegratedCircuits/tabid/154/CategoryID/31/List/0/SortField/0/catpageindex/3/Level/a/ProductID/244/Default.aspx

to the BASIC stamp 2? (I have the BOE Development Board Rev C)

Are there any connectors I should order as well?

I'm kind of confused how it works.

    Hello,

    At the link you posted there is a PDF download of the documentation which shows the connections and a schematic. You can also get some example source code here. Please download this document for more information.

    I'm kind of new to reading schematics and to electronics in general, so I connect a 5V power supply to pins 1 and 8, and a ground to 4 and 7, pin 5 to P0, and pin 3 to P1?

    What kind of cables do I use for that? I'm asking cause I'm placing an order so I need to know what to buy.

    And where would the FPU be physically, on the breadboard?
