    How to add a second parallel port in mach3

    Hello
    I need to have more I/O pins for my machine so I'm thinking about a second parallel port.
    I saw some PCI parallel prt cards that can be attached to the motherboard. Can I use any one of them or there are special features I should choose to mach mach3 needs?
