I'm replying to this one because I rather doubt if such a beast exists,
if I'm right, this could be the only reply you get. 

The parallel option is particularly unlikely, since most PC pll ports
are only designed for output, to a printer or suchlike. The serial
port is so slow (many can't top 38.4Kbaud) that nobody is likely to
consider it saleable.

If anyone can prove me wrong, I'd be pleased to hear of it..
