Don't think you can run Mach with the pro.......the interface will not work . You get easy of use but lose some control. So Unless the rewrote the interface, no MACH 3.

Just purchase a smooth stepper from supplier listed on the Mach 3 site. Open the Shark controller box and unplug the DB25 connector from the serial board and then plug-in the smooth stepper serial board. Configure Mach3 pins on the ports and pins menu and go to work.
I just finished buying a used smooth stepper and connecting it up. Runs great.
