Got it working on my BOE - Now what?

Hi all,
A general BS2-related question...
Let's say I have a nifty circuit that I built on my Board of Ed (BOE) and it uses the BS2.· Now I want to take it out the realm of the BOE and make put the circuit in a proj box so it can work on it's own without the BOE.· I'm not talking mass production of thousands of copies of the circuit.· Let's even say just one for now.· But I want to get it off my BOE and working on its own.
How do I do that?
I know I'm going to have to use the BS2 in the final circuit.· So is there a special BS2 board I can get with a socket for the BS2 OR a BS2 built-in to the board (and other connections too)?· I've seen things like "prototype boards."· What have others done in this case?·
I'm not concerned about the enclosure at this point.· I'm more concerned with getting it off the BOE and making it work standalone.
I'm not even talking a printed circuit yet.· But if anyone has a good reference/link for making them, I'd appreciate you sharing.
Also, I've seen the "OEM" label on items.· I know it means "Original Equipment Manufacturer."· But how does it relate to parts and components?· What is it that makes it OEM?
Thanks again!
John

You could also use the BS2 carrier board that includes the programming port, but not the voltage regulator. It would make use of the small built-in regulator on the Stamp module itself. If you don't want to use the programming port, you could use any sort of board with a 24 pin socket.
Basically, the BOE provides an external voltage regulator with a 1A rating. It has a reset switch and a programming port. It provides various connectors and a breadboarding area. That's pretty much it.
Thanks Mike!
