The problem with buying a computer is that it not only needs a parallel port, but it needs to have useable low latency. You can not test latency until AFTER you buy it.
I own several old PCs and have a parallel port card, none of them give good scores on the latency test. They are good enough to run the motors at low step rates but not optimally.
