I'll keep you posted.

Thanks so far!

Did you try swap cables as well?

G1 uses a H bridge to drive the motor and this is controlled by the encoder pulses it sends back which are read by various RA/DEC programmed (PAL) chip-sets.

G2...from what Rene said...a similar set-up aka a H bridge and reads encoders (same motors as G1) ...albeit with newer & different chip-sets than G1.
