I was on the EngineYard site and found this information:
Through the 90's, we managed a number of small/medium-sized businesses in areas like embedded computing, digital printing, and high-volume text messaging. (For the hardware and robotics folks reading this, we co-founded the company that makes BASIC Stamp® tiny computers.)

What is the connection of Engine Yard and the Basic Stamp?
The CEO is Lance Walley. The CTO is Tom Mornini. Is there a connection to Parallax?

Designed to plug into any solderless breadboard, this 100%-compatible Basic Stamp 2 microcontroller is reverse-polarity protected, has a built-on serial programming connector and reset switch, and has an easily replaced interpreter & EEPROM.
Although somewhat larger, it's substantially less expensive than a true Parallax BS2 module, but still interfaces with our Sumovore Mini-sumo through the BS2-brainboard add-on.

I clicked on Engine Yard's link about the Stamp and went to a Google page of hits based on "basic stamp". So they own bragging rights to every Stamp-like device in the world?
Anyways, I checked out the site above and found their "100-compatible Basic Stamp 2" plug in. Doesn't Parallax have a lock on the Basic Stamp name?
Later!

The Stamp Stack was originally developed by HVW Tech in Canada. Here is a much better definition (link below) of what the Stamp Stack actually is, and indeed it is a Parallax PBASIC Stamp BS-2 (or BS-2SX)' incognito.

There is no pleasure in having nothing to do;
the fun is in having lots to do, and not doing it!
