Yes, the modules can be stacked as high as you like. Each module was laid
out so that the same pins are used by the ADC, EEPROM and 1302 but the pins
names are unique to each module. For example, clock is clk for the ADC, clke for
the EEPROM and clkc for the clock.

I've got a "worthy product" report....
I have a small wind power generator that charges some batteries
and provides backup power here when the grid power goes out.
A BS2p keeps track of the battery voltage and charging current,
and switches various loads on and off to make effective use of
the generated power, and also shuts down the windmill under
"dangerous" conditions.
Recently I also added data logging capability to my controller
so I can keep track of how much power is generated.
I got one of the CC-EEP-512 serial EEPROM from ChipCircuit at:
http://www.visualmuses.com/chipcircuit/
The EEPROM plugs into the Stamp socket, and then the Stamp
plugs into the top of the EEPROM, so installing it is super simple.
The CC-EEP-512 has enough storage space for me to sample
and store battery voltage and charging current data once per
minute for over 11 days, and the data is easily downloaded to
a computer via Hyperterminal (as a text file), and then can be
imported into a Excel or MS Works spreadsheet.
The serial EEPROM is easy to install, easy to use, and works great.
I also found the customer service to be.. ummm.. EXCELLENT!.
Sid Weaver of ChipCircuits was incredibly patient with me, and
went FAR above and beyond the call of duty to help me get my
little data logging system working smoothly, and he taught me a
lot of worthy stuff in the process. Big thanks to Sid!
If you need data logging, check out ChipCircuit...
Cheers!

I'm curious if you can stack multiple modules. For instance, adding a
real-time clock on top of the EEPROM datalogger on top of an A/D converter
ChipCircuit with the Stamp on top. Seems crazy, but you could build most of
a complex sampler/logger on a BOE with almost no on-board traces. It's a
vertical bus, as it were. Is that the sort of thing this is made to do?

of the modules, and how many you can use, but it's a good
question for Sid...
Earth to Sid... come in Sid!
