I did this same thing. The only problem that I encountered was if one of
the geckos was not powered it would drag the whole disable line down and
shut off the others. Found this the hard way!

Subject: Re:Wiring of ?gecko drives in a CNC controller Im Building
Subject carefully chosen so I'm within the groups area!
I have 4 Gecko 201 drives in a controller Im building. Does anyone know
if I can connect all the Disable inputs together and switch them to
ground using one set of contacts ?or must I switch the Disable line
from each drive to ground using a separate set of contacts.
I'm a little concerned in case the drives interact with each other if I
just join all the Disable lines together and let them float during
normal operation.
