Parallel Port Data Acquisition

[mawais]

Hello
I want to make a data acquisition system using a micro-controller/FPGA, interfacing it with PC via parallel port. I was just wondering if I could get a sampling rate of about 1.5 Mega samples/bytes per second (assuming one sample is 8 bit long). I mean I am only concerned about the parallel port. Do you think the parallel port can support this much amount of data to be read from using MATLAB or C/C++. If anyone has done something like that could he please tell me weather its possible to read 1.5 mega samples per second through parallel port.
Thanks and regards,
Muhammad Awais

100Mhz sampling can be possible.
