RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] 5 volts in Geckos G201?????

No, it is not OK. You are somehow drawing much more current than the
port can source.

Do you have any connection between the computer and the drive other than

+5 from game port to Gecko +5
Step from parallel port to gecko step
direction from parallel port to gecko direction
