Can''t Identify Stamp

Disconnect power and remove the BASIC Stamp module from the socket.
Inspect the pins; you may have bent one of the programming connection
pins. If so, carefully straighten the pin(s) and put back into the
socket making sure that all pins are seated.

Just received my first Basic Stamp & Board of Education. The
Identify menu shows Loop Back = Yes Echo = Yes. It does not
identify the chip.
Running Windows XP on a desktop PC (e-machine).
Power LED is on.
Tried a 9v battery as well as an ac adapter - doesn't work. Tried a
different computer (win2k) - doesn't work. Tried a different serial
cable - doesn't work. Removed chip - reseated it - doesn't work. Removed
chip again - reseated it - doesn-t work. Tried changing FIFO setting on
serial port - doesn't work.
I give up. Guess it's DOA?
Any ideas?
