Hi Daniel
In the end I decided to do it the brute force way and set up a 4 outlet power board with switches. I now don't turn on the power to the CNC until the computer is up and running Mach3.
This has the added advantage of giving me total control of the power to all the individual attached bits and pieces with just the flick of a switch.

Bob,
sorry been a few days, all will be explained in my posts later this week. Anyway, that definitely works. Just be careful with the cheaper power boards used in that way unless you have decent protection on pc and the circuits. Just seen power boards surge as they are under load already, and then adding a capacitance load (PS Supply, BOB and drivers etc) if pulling large amount may surge power into motherboard of PC or into CNC circuits. Just don't want to see you loose all your hard work.
Daniel
