Downloading a basic stamp program w/ Pocket PC

I have a i-PAQ 2200 Pocket PC. This thing packs some power and has a serial port. So I was wondering if any one has used a PPC to download tokenized programs to a basic stamp. I thought about writing a program to do this but quickly realized that its beyond my ability. What I'm looking to do is use my PPC like the STACHE available PARALLAX. This would be able to hold an unlimited number of programs for field use. If any one has software or knows somebody that tried something like this please let me know as I'm very interested in doing this.

    I've used an HP LX200 to run Stamp software, it requires use of the DOS version which isn't quite as nice as the Win version.

    But, it works well and can store lots of programs. If your Pocket PC can run either DOS or Windows, you should be OK.

    Cheers,

    if you have a serial port you can use it for the such, but more then likely the USB on your PPT8800 is strictly a slave unit so you wont be able to use the USB to connect to you BS2.
