I /think/ I have that working, but this driver has no docs describing its 
fault output.  There are 2 empty pins on the connector but no info on 
the state of those pins, in or out of fault. So I may have to wire it up 
and find out.

I haven't tried to google this driver to see if it has downloadable docs, 
yet.  Next obviously.

Thanks
Cheers, Gene Heskett
