2) Is the Stamp powered properly? The Stamp must be working to be able to download a new program or to be identified.
The Lab computer is a XP desktop.
How can I update the I/O driver?
You can update the I/O drivers by going to the manufacturer's website and downloading a current copy of their I/O driver. You might try using the Windows driver and letting that take over the management of the adapter. You also could try using a Mac driver which would make a com port available to the XP partition rather than the USB device. Exactly how to do this depends on how you're running Windows on the Mac. I use a MacBook and run Windows XP using Parallels Desktop. I use either FTDI-based USB to serial adapters or a Keyspan High Speed Serial Adapter, both of work fine with both the Stamps and Propeller either using Windows or directly on the Mac using MacBS2 and BradC's Spin compiler.
There's a link on Parallax's website to MacBS2, a nice free 3rd party editor/front-end to Parallax's Stamp compiler that runs under the MacOS.
and as for the MacBS2, it gives me an error saying it is unable to move Tokenizer to the folder. and when I try manually there is no folder for MacBS2 in the Library so I can't manually do it like it says to.
could you send me a link to where i could get a usb-serial adapter that would work for programming stamps unlike my Belkin
This is the Parallax USB to serial adapter that I've used with both MacBS2 and the Stamp Editor under VMFusion:

Any suggestions as to where I can find a functional Mac USB driver for the parallax-supplied adapter?
FYI the FT232RL is the FT232R in a 28 pin SSOP package, and it's referred to as FT232R on FTDI's website
