Thanks for the suggestions.
Looks like finding an off the shelf pc will be more of an adventure than
I had hopped.
Found a 25pin sub d and a have made a ribbon cable header out of a old
floppy cable. It is not optimal but it should work for a while and I
know the latency of the pc I have is except able.
Have had this plasma table running recently with my Mesa7I76E but I
need that for an other project. In a perfect world I would Just get
another Mesa Ethernet card but they haven't been available for ages.
Any idea when the Ethernet cards will be produced and sold again??

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.

Not sure why the parallel port doesn't show up in the description but is
in the photo.

I'll be surprised if you can find anythign with a parallel port,
That's just not the case. (though many don't have them in the case)
With parallel port:
