Ok Windows 2000 SUCKS, it restricts port access so i can't program my Basic Stamp 1 (Parallel port) using Stamp.exe Parallax acts like the BS1 never existed, and provides ZERO support. (Little @$#$'ers ) I have tried about six supposed Port Openers that are supposed to allow any program to use the parallel port. Does anyone know of a programmer for the Basic Stamp 1 that works in Windows 2000?
stupid reply I know probably.... Have you checked the www.parallaxinc.com website? I had trouble programming my BSII-SX until I got a new version of the software. Can you not get a serial-parallel adapter for the cable?
There website has jack *#$# for basic Stamp 1 (Only DOS programmer) So I am using an old laptop that is going to end up as my car MP3 Player to program the stamp.
wow! I totally missed that bit umm... go to www.lynxmotion.com and ask Jim Frye for some advice, if he can't help you I don't think anyone can!
