Hi Dave,
If you have the benefit of an oscilloscope you could hook it up to your LPT pin 14 and observe the changing square wave PWM signal as you adjust the spindle speed slider within Mach (don't forget - you need to have a GCode loaded which issues the M3 command !!).
Then observe the 0 - 10 Volt signal at the Gecko pin 8.
If both the above are present then its your wiring (assuming nothing is broke).
Tweakie.
