Here, take a look at this. It shows the inside of the OI and RC, and you can clearly see in the pictures that there is only 1 Stamp between the two of them (in the RC). The rest of the work is done by PICs.

I think in one of the old guides they have a map of all the Stamps in the system. There's 3 on the RC for processing the program, at least one on the OI. There's at least one in each modem...I think...
I've got to find that diagram, I know I've seen it before. I'll just post back when I find it...
I think this is what's throwing you off course. They do talk about having multiple microcontrollers in the system, however they never indicate that they're all Stamps. In fact, as I mentioned before, the only Stamp is the user-controlled one. Everything else is done with Microchip PICs (hence the reason they upgraded the user CPU to a PIC - they're already familiar with it).
