Wiring manual pulse generator directly to 2nd parallel port

Hello to all I am trying to add a manual pulse generator to my cnc router via parallel port. I installed a 2nd pci parallel port card to my pc and I have the pinout for the mpg. I just dont know how to get the 5v and 0v from the pc to the mpg here is the pinout and mpg I have

The disk drive power connectors in the PC will have +5v, +12v, and ground connections on it. You can get a drive power extension cable, clip off the side you don't need, and use that to gain access to the power lines you need.

Hey britt can you post some pictures of the cable you are referring to so I will know which one to splice into

you can connect to the red and black wires from a 4 pin MOLEX or 15 way SATA power cable

a USB cable
