The Basic Stamp I works off your printer port. There's no way to use
any variety of Basic Stamp II off the printer port.

I use a cable modem and I don't have any use for an internal modem. Can I
use my printer port? How?
having serial ports on it. Perhaps the ports were never installed on the
back of the computer but your Mother board does have connectors for 2 serial
ports, (seperate controller card for 486's). I don't recall anybody
programming a stamp with a parallel port. That could get complicated.

gas tank, and it only has 12 gallons in it, how large are my tires? <g> Can
you use your printer port for what? I don't understand what that has to do
with a serial port, modem and/or cable modem.
Sorry ... I don't think I understand.

You are limited to using the Stamp I (ONLY).
All other Stamps use the serial port.
