If you need to move around the BS2 you may want to pick up a machine pin DIP socket and insert the module into that first. That way you will protect the pins on the module. The machine pins are pretty sturdy and if you break one then just remove the socket and insert the BS2 into another one.
I just tried the link again and it worked on this end. Otherwise, go to Jameco.com, search for "sockets", then "search within results", and enter "machine"

....?I found the robot arm interesting but why you posted that link ?lol
That link should have taken you directly to a page that showed a list of machine pin sockets available from Jameco. Make sure the URL didn't get broken if you pasted it into your browser. Below is a link to a datasheet that shows clearly what the machine pin socket looks like:
Ok so I got the SX Chip and resonator, the SX Chip open side is supposed to be pointing to the resonator dock right? and the resonator has no polarity or anything? I so I plug it in whichever way?
Yes the notch at the top of the SX chip will point towards the resonator. The resonator has no polarity. Your good to go! I bet you already powered it up..didn't you? [noparse]:)[/noparse]
They're the same chip -- the difference is that the Stamp "interpreter" chip *ALREADY* has a program burned onto it's Flash memory -- the program is what makes a "Stamp".
The "blank" SX ($5) you bought is for downloading any program of your choice, of your creation, etc. You could download your own program to the Stamp Interpreter chip, but you would lose the program that makes it a Stamp -- and you can't get it back.

Before you ask, no, you can't suck the program out of the BS Stamp chip and stick in to the SX chip. The program is protected and all you'll get is garbage in the SX chip.

It is just a DIP socket but instead of thin formed leads it has higher quality machined pins.
