Glad that fancy piece of paper left me with some deductive skills and a little feeling for error messages. :) Two out of four likely candidates do, in fact, have a parallel port. I can load whatever OS is needed on them and go. Possibly even a live image? My cousin has a PIC programmer. I know they bought Atmel a while back, but have no idea how compatible the interfaces are.
I also can get these:

and
http://www.surplusgizmos.com/STK48-Development-Prototyping-board-for-Atmel-ATmega8-ATmega168-ATmega328-_p_1940.html
but the prototyping board at least looks like it won't work with the Atmel 1284 on my Sanguinololu. Also, I see no ISP header on my Sanguinololu, so I assume I'll need an external programmer. Glad I was never planning on sticking to the sub-$400 purchase price of this printer. :)
