Computers are implicitly digital, so, yeah... You are kind of hosed. I fixed this on an S11 and S12 board, but the S1 is a different design. Plus, it is way out of the realm of trying to walk anyone through it. I wouldn't even try, sorry.
On a normal Mitsu control, there is a screen where you can see the load on servos and other information. If you have that on the Mazak, you'll likely see that the servo has a value that is railed to something unreasonable. That could at least give you some idea of what part of the system is messed up. There is only one A/D, but there are multiple things that feed to it.... Too bad you are in Australia.... Come visit us in the States! :-)
