  The BASIC Stamp Manual has information for connecting a DB9 to the BS2 on your own board.· If you search the messages, I think this has come up quite a few times before, and Jon has posted the schematic in each reply.

  Have a look at http://www.al-williams.com/asp2.htm. These are fairly easy to build yourself, if you prefer.

  Is this what you're looking for?

  I'm a fan of Peter Anderson's 10-pin headers with their ribbon cable (DB9 on one end, 10 pin connector on the other with one wire removed). See http://www.phanderson.com/stamp/starter.html
  
  The headers just go into the breadboard like anything else.
  
  The RS-1 that Al Williams has looks good for a more finished look.

  Thanks for all the advise and pointers. I'm not sure that I need the Al Williams RS1 as that is built right into the design of the BS2SX, am I correct? I think asp2 or the header last mentioned is really what I am after.

  Yes, if you are attaching to the built-in programming port, you don't need a MAX232 (the RS1). All you need is a wiring connection.
