I used EMC and yes you could change the pinouts for the driver boards, because the pins are different on the HobbyCNC board which i use and they start out like 3,2 5,4 7,6 other boards run numbers in sequence.

I switched to windows in mach3 because of it running smoother and a little better to me than EMC, If you do the opt. file it makes windows run bare min. and is very stable.
