    This shows the pins used for programming and communicating with stamps.

    Justin,
    The stamp uses the 4 pins as described below (this is for the BS-2 using a
    9-pin serial interface)
    STAMP
    > SERIAL PORT (9-pin)
    (1) SERIAL OUT
    > 2 (RD) RECIEVE DATA
    This is the "pin" that the stamp uses to send data to the PC.
    (2) SERIAL IN
    > 3 (TD) TRANSMIT DATA
    This is the "pin" that the PC uses to send data to the stamp.
    (3) ATN
    > 4 (DTR) DATA TERMINAL READY
    This "pin" is used to alert the PC that the stamp is ready to communicate.
    (4) VSS
    > 5 (GND) GROUND
    This is the ground used for the RS-232 signals.
    Also, on the programming cable pin 7 (RTS) REQUEST TO SEND and pin 6 (DSR) DATA
    SET READY are "looped back" or
    connected directly to each other on the PC side. This is required to keep the PC
    ready to accept communication
    with the stamp.

    All you need on the Stamp end is 4 wires. Download the Stamp manual -- it
    has all the stuff you need to know about making a Stamp cable.
