I think I have one somewhere, that I'd be happy to sell you if you make me
a reasonable offer. But why don't you set up a quick-and-dirty LAN?
Network cards are pretty cheap these days, and all you need to transfer
files between two PC's is a network adapter in both machines and a
crossover cable between the two. This will be much faster than a transfer
over the parallel port, and probably won't cost you much more.
