Check that the serial port you are using has been enabled in the
BIOS. To get there, during startup you have to press Esc, Del, F1,
or somthing. It should say on your screen what to hit exactly (only
for a second tho). Find your serial port settings (just look around,
it shouldn't be to hard to find) and enable whatever is disabled.
Make sure to save your settings and exit. The pc will reboot and
then try to connect to the Stamp again. If your serial ports are
already enabled in the BIOS, then you will have to try something
else. Good Luck.

The BASIC editor says that the stamp is detected but not responding,
check power supply. I have a 9V battery, running through a
1000microF capactor, running to pins 24 and 23 (positive and
negitivly respectivally). When checked with a voltmeter the chip is
recieving 9V of power and is sending 5V of power off pin 21(the
regulated output), i have checked, re checked and bought a new serial
cable as well but this does not fix the problem. What suggestions do
you have to fix this thing, it is for a science fair project due in
january and a speedy reply would be much appricated.
