I have used the Longs Motor DM542a and these settings work (I know they are super short) I think I used 20x microstepping.
Code:
DIRSETUP = 500 DIRHOLD = 500 STEPLEN = 1000 STEPSPACE = 1000 STEP_SCALE = 1000

All I did was to connect the wiring direct to the mesa stepgen
Step+ to Pul+
Step- to Pul-
Dir+ to Dir+
Dir- to Dir-

I did notice there was a different wiring layout for Parallel ports.

According to the spec sheet I posted, wired as the middle variance, they are 8.96v if that is what you are referring to. Thanks
