Yes, there have already been enough "sacrefices" offered to the Norse
god, Linux.

The Gettys motors can be run from a Gecko 320 or 340 if your motor's
FLA is less than 20 amps. You may loose some rotational speed because
you will have to run with a power supply that puts out less than 80
volts. Speed loss will be proportional to actual voltage divided by
rated voltage times rated speed. Don't crowd the 80 volts by to much, or
build a resistive brake circuit because these motors can produce
significant power while stopping.
