Stepper power supplies, unregulated or regulated? Switched or linear?

on 2000-12-01 16:31:40 UTC

Can anyone tell me what the ins and outs of power supplies
are? I am planning on buying a couple of Gekko g201 stepper
drives and 720 in. oz. motors.
Should I get a power supply for each drive or one big power
supply? Unregulated or regulated? Switched or linear?
Any low cost suggestions?
Bob
