Unknown. Look in the driver section of building a kernel
for the supported devices. I have use FTDI usb-serial converters
without issue.

How about the EIO jet card mentioned in the manual for this device?
They should be cheap, used.
An old parallel port on an old pci card should do the
trick, if all you needs is a parallel port.
Some of those old Laserjet printer could be set up across a serial
port, if nothing else works.....
