Tetroid Super Gold Card clone oddness

Does anyone know why the Tetroid clone SGC skips the parallel printer port? On my machine, the printer port code is still in the ROM image and a program trying to uses it causes the computer to hang, which is quite reasonable behavior I think.
Is the printer port supported in his INGOT version?
Can original Miracle INGOTs be used in his boards without damage? They're unobtainium and I don't want to find out the hard way.

I see the likelihood that Tetroid made any change to the PLD close to zero.

There's just a brief mention of the port not being included on the SellMyRetro website. I took it that he viewed it as no longer relevant.
None of his boards offer that port. You can still view his range on SellMyRetro by viewing his unsold items from his profile.
I had contact with him around Nov via there, but he then went quiet.

Hi.
Only one reason to remove the printer port connector is reduce the PCB size to 10 cm.
Yes, you can use the original Miracle INGOTs be used in SGC clones.
But not for this clone :
