Will a parallel port drive this?

Hi,
I'm wondering if a standard pc parallel port will drive this device
with "MOS" level inputs. It's a forced feed back controller for Happ
Controls Active Steering Wheel. Will the voltages match up?

Motor Control PCB 50-2000-02
1. J1 - 8-pin header – Optically Isolated control inputs. 14MA, active
low current sink.
Pin Function
1 +5vdc
2 Circuit ground
3 Key
4 Torque input A (least significant bit)
5 Torque input B
6 Torque input C
7 Torque input D (most significant bit)
8 Direction input

Thanks

It should be no problem, we've been driving stepper motors using
driver chips and a parrallel port via a RABBIT microprocessor in class
so I think that what you want to do is mostly the same and should work
