Check your serial for marshmellows...
Your free serial port is usually COM2, as most BIOS chips set your modem as COM1, but just to be sure, check your system properties. If you're using a Mac, buy a serial-USB adapter, so your serial cable can be plugged into your USB port. They're sold all over for under 20 bucks. The InnovationFIRST dashboard program asks you which COM port to use, as does the Basic Stamp pBasic program uploader, but you'll be going throught that stuff after you finalize design.
