Should be quite possible to drive two YM2149 off printer port. I did something for Sinclair QL a few years ago when I wrote PT3 (& others) chip player for dual chips. (BUSY for Atari is pin11, AFAIK)

The extra registers are addressed the same way than on YM2149.
This is exactly what I've been working on and as well as the thread Exxos linked there's this one over on AF:

I'm very close to getting a PCB ordered and it will look something like this:
