I gave that one back and you know it! Sam's point still stands though: I have to use my own.
OK, back to my actual responses:

Unfortunately, the Stamp processor doesn't understand USB electrical/signaling protocols, so you'd need to convert it to RS-232 anyway.

OS 9 would be almost impossible as I don't have any OS 9 computers. If I ever get around to doing a Linux port, it should compile under OS X, as well. Speaking of laptops, I'd be perfectly willing to try my hand at an OS 9 version if someone wants to donate a Mac laptop to me....
Currently, I'm working on RoboCon, the computerized robot control, but as soon as that's done, I'm going to port as much of my stuff to Linux as I can.
In any event, RoboEmu 1.07 is done, so check it out if you have the time.
