OMG - I put this post in the wrong place too!

No cause for concern - I have moved it for you.

The ESS also supports laser raster engraving with Mach4 and this may be of interest to you; https://warp9td.com/index.php/faq/faq-mach4#LaserSetup

( initially it may all sound a little complex but once you get into it then it starts to make sense    )

This is just one of the motion controllers I can use with Mach4.

Another suggestion...

If you move on to Mach4 then your ESS will allow you to gate the ESS generated PWM and Mach4 derived M62/M63 switching signals into one output which you can then connect to the TTL input of your laser. If set-up correctly this will then enable your laser to be switched ON/OFF at any chosen PWM power setting.

My reply #3 perhaps ?

Good suggestion and it would clearly be very useful but unfortunately it is not going to happen 

(Mach3 development ended in favour of Mach4 some 6 years ago).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Under Windows XP :--> Limit Switches not working

Well...

As far as I am aware the Warp9 ESS is the only motion controller that supports both Mach3 and Mach4 with the M11Px/M10Px/M62Px/M63Px commands as well as a laser raster engraving facility for Mach4. You would have to decide if it meets your needs both now and for the future.

I do have and use a Warp9 ESS but I am currently testing a CNC Drive UC400ETH at the moment.
