Dan, also I am sure you are aware as this happens with the USB version as well as the ESS, but just in case you are not. Make sure you edit your M3 and M4 macros so that they check whether the spindle is running before doing the reversal, if it is have the macro stop the spindle first or you will probably get the same effect as you are experiencing with the Stop issue.
I am not sure how the parallel port handles things as it has been a long time since I have used it but the CSMIO/IP-A and -S will first decelerate before reversing, however as I am unsure how the parallel port handles things I can't say whether this is a ESS/USB SS fault or just emulating the parallel ports actions.
Previously I had edited my CAM to do a M5 before a reversal but I feel it is actually safer to do it via the M3/M macros.
