I saw the reference to a 25 pin parallel connector.I'd say there has to be a strong possibility that the machine connects to a computer this way and if you can get your hands on a computer with a suitable port,there should be no problem in getting the computer to talk to the machine.It may not be the latest or greatest way to do things,but it worked then and it will work now.I suppose it depends on whether the point of the machine is to learn about machine retrofits or to produce parts.
