Re: Gecko NEMA 42 Modifications - will I need it ??

Is that a BOSS you're doing with the P/N 026744 "alternate motor for
025805" steppers?
I am curious as to where you found out the motors are 56v / 8.25 amp?
I've been searching for that info for quite some time.
From what I've read, discarding the tech' of it, you absolutely need
the 42 mod from Gecko or they won't work right, or at all. They
don't charge extra for this.
What I'd like to know is what happens if later you move these 42
mod's to non NEMA 42 motors.
