I didn't see anything on the Acorn that suggests it supports a Charge Pump to

For that matter, small survey question here,  how many people running LinuxCNC 
are actually using a Charge Pump for safety?

I was for a while but am not now. At the time I was cutting out blanket chest parts in Green & Green style joinery, i had 2 rigged to control the board locator and the vacuum on my carving jig, which I had to move out of the tool path once the board was clamped. The 2nd one started the bucket vac to clean up the mahogany swarf as the tool moved. I sure wouldn't call that pc byby insurance...
Just shade tree engineering.  :)

It is a decent, one pin control solution if 500 millisecond response time can be tolerated.
