When I connect in Maxim it resets the motor parameters in the Config screen all to zero, hence it doesn't (or can't!) move.

Even if I can use it to move the focuser by small amounts by dabbing buttons whilst I keep an eye on the analyze tab for FWHM, it's better than nothing!

All focusing to date has been by hand, and whilst I can nail it, it does need a steady touch.

You should give FocusMax a try as it's free. FocusMax controls the RoboFocus unit and just uses Maxim to collect images. In this way Maxim doesnt need to talk to the RoboFocus so the driver doesnt matter.
