Yes, I pulled both TSX0108 chips OE to ground( but not through a pull down 
).
I've also tied the DB25 gnds to the Arduino in 2 places and tied those 
grounds to the ground of the 5V supply.  Everything should know where/what 
ground is. 
Charles, explained it being the design of the part which does not provide 
pull down capabilities.

I was about to order a few 74HCT245 parts.  Still might just to have 
onhand. I ordered one of Jeff's boards.
