Basic Connection Being Proven Not So Basic

I am still having a lot of trouble being able to program myBasic
Stamp 2SX. I bought it supposedly new off Ebay and it should work.
But it didn't come with a programming board so budget being an
issue, I decided to make my own. On page 27 of the basic stamp
manual v2.0 it sais that all you have to do is connect a wire from
pins 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the stamp to pins 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the
serial port. Also pins 6 and 7 on the serial port have to be
connected to each other. Then the stamp has to be powered with a
nine volt battery to pins 23 and 24. I tried all of that and still
no luck. For some reason, when i try to identify the stamp with the
windows editor v2.1 beta 1 it can't figure out what type of device
it is, but it does figure out that there is a loopback and echo. Now
i'm wonderijng, can this mean that my stamp is broken in some way,
or is there something else that i'm missing. Has anyone else had
this problem? I've gone over all of the connections a million times
and can't seem to find anything wrong. Please Help! I am in
desperate need of some help.
