good luck finding a PC with parallel these days.

Its actually still relatively easy to get a mobo with native parallel ( and serial ) but they exist as headers on the board.
( ref pretty much any mobo with a B75 northbridge chip )
All you need is a wired adapter and you are away.
Also, there are cards that can be fitted if reqd to give it.
The biggest problem is if you need specific drivers or low level access,
as W7 onwards makes direct access difficult
