Just an update..
I brought new PCI breakout board....setting the 2nd parallel port and it work fine!!

But what actually happen was:
My breakout to stepper Drive was wiring in a way that I need to connect +5V to PUL+ and DIR+......but I wire Ground Pin to those terminal instead..
So with that said...I rewired and kabooom....I get +4.5V in one direction, 0V in another direction as it should be......
But for STEP pulse...I still get about +0.4V when click JOGGING...
is this sound right?

Thank you Hood.
I have seen your experted comments on many post.  I am not awared as there is such a 3V parallel port. 
Will change it to different PCI port...perhaps I can use this port for input only?

Hi.
This is my first time posting..Have done several post on www.cnczone.com.
Spent hours reading on this forums, but unable to find my answers.

Question:  According to every where, I should be getting 0 = Low  or close to 5V= high for output to run.
Yet...I do not get above 4V in either LOW active off/on?   In fact, I only get about 2.5V out to my terminal DRIVE input...
Any problem this will cause? 

Here is the tested data:

*****Direct connection PC to Driver--no breakout board**** (and yes...motor moving in both direction!!)
Low Active = OFF (dir and step)
Dir = 0.09V in one direction, 2.0V in another direction
Step = 0.00 V in off state, 0.16V in Jog running state

Low Active = ON (dir and step)
Dir = 0.09V in one direction, 2.0V in another direction.
Step = 2.98 V in off state, 2.83V in JOg running State.
