Lynxmotion "First Step PBasic Micro" information wanted

Froggfish

I am looking for documentation on the "First Step PBasic Micro" (c) 98 by Lynxmotion Inc.

On the lynxmotion forum there is no further information available. They say they sold it with a parallel port programming adapter. How does this adapter look like? Perhaps its also in the junk box I got.

Judging by the "Basic Stamp 1.4" label and the 93LC56 eeprom, I'd say that's some sort of OEM BS1. You may be able to trace the circuit out using the OEM BS1 schematic from Parallax:

You may need the serial adapter to program it. I don't think they make the parallel port version anymore. If they programmed it through that RJ style jack, you'll probably have to hack it.
