I am trying to connect my BSI to my IBM Laptop. Everytime I try to
do anything I get a hardware not found error. I tryed changing my
parallel port configurations and none of them worked. Does anyone
know why my computer can't talk to the chip? Thankyou.

    Hello Ryan,
    I had a similar problem with the BS2, it generated
    the same error. Make sure you are using the right
    editor/compiler, every chip has its own editor. Make
    sure your stamp is properly power-up and did you make
    your own cable or are you using the cable that came
    with the stamp?

    Hello Carlos,
    I did build my own cable and have quarouple checked the pins, To
    debug I put 2way LEDs in series between the port and pin on the BSI I
    also put an LED on the 7th output pin. Pin 1 works, shows power in.
    Pin 2 is thr ground and that also checks out. Pin 3 in PCOut and
    that also shows a signal in. Pin 4, the pcin, doesn't show
    anything. If I remove the LED from the 7th output the LED inbetween
    the power supply and pin 1 goes off. I am running the STAMP compiler
    in DOS and have the parallel port in bi-directional. When I go to
    run the program I get a window with a status bar that say connecting
    and then a few seconds later in will say "error hardware not found",
    Thankyou for any help.
    -Ryan

    Hi, Wendell
    Myabe it has something to do with the comp being a laptop because
    I've heard a lot about problems like this and laptops. I have an IBM
    running a celeron as well. I called the tech support and my coimp
    settings are correct but since I don't have a meter yet(I'm a newbie)
    I couldn't test the pins. I'm going to break out my old mac G3 and
    see if I can get it to work on there.

    Sorry no, I sent an email to parallax the other day asking for them so
    when I got one on monday(after easter vacation). I could check them.
    I'm trying to hook it up to a Mac G3 now with even less luck. I'll
    post them here when I get the email from paral. Thanks.
