Found it. :)
I remembered when we did the TriOnics mill, it also had a PMDX board.And sumthin we never did finish (I think we didnt) was to use the Charge Pump feature. So i went and disabled the Charge Pump on my PMDX 125 board and all is responding now :) :)

Toggling Bit8 moves X axis. Then i loaded SimpleStepDirAxis0.mot and moved X axis.

So,.. where to go from here?
