    Thanks for your help Andy. I got it working!!

    I first had to set an input pin for the estop in the 'ports and pins - inputs' menu in Mach3 as you said. I just set it to port 1 pin 1, which is otherwise unused. Then it let me get on with other setting up.

    I put my same old settings into the Mach3 'output pins' menu for motors and hey presto I got motion :)

    I then set up the things like slave axis, homing and motor tuning as usual.

    Job done!

    It may be my imagination but I think it actually does sound smoother in motion.

    We'll see how it runs on a job tomorrow.
