Not in any near future, probably never (unless someone with such a
card is willing to write a driver).  There are at least three
generations of these devices, the newer variants (PE3) should be
MB86960 based (for which we have a driver). It might be just as `easy'
as writing some parallel port interface goo.

There is an OpenBSD driver that (according to the web-page) doesn't
work all that well. Shouldn't be hard to port.
