Byteblaster II and USB Blaster have been designed to handle these low IO voltages. Original ByteBlaster requires a 5V supply according to the utilized 74LS driver, ByteBlasterMV needs at least 3.3V supply, altough VCCIO can be lower. Read the comments in the respective ByteBlaster datasheets. A possible solution could be an on-board voltage translation buffer for TDO.

Do you have a 3.3V supply available on the board?
