For Mariss

There has been a lot of interest in your drives for these larger 42 series
motors.
You have also been good enough to answer some of my queries my email.
One that hasn't been addressed and from what I can see a few people would
like to know is
[1] Can the 210 driver run these M112 steppers like fitted to the
Bridgeports given a change of transformer ?

[2] Will the new 160v drive be able to run these ?

[3] What will be the max amperage of the new 160V drive.

I have some specs on the M112's and depending on the number of wires and
the suffix numbers they can draw from 3.5 to 15.2 Amp
