multiple parallel ports through one connector?

Hi All -
Does anyone know if it is possible to take the PC's signals from
three "parallel ports" and output them via one PCI card with a
50-pin SCSI or Centronics connector? Is such a thing available?
I am trying to get IndexerLPT set up to talk to my controller box,
and I'd like to find a cleaner way than using three separate
parallel cables, and the associated breakout boards. Each port
uses 14 pins plus ground. I know that 3 ports sounds excessive,
but to drive 4 axes and use the joystick feature with the G-code
frontend, I need 3 ports. The benefit is a lot of extra I/O.
TIA,
