Jon,

Thanks for the quick response. Your message prompted me to do a little in-depth reading
on the spec sheets of these guys and I think I have more questions now than before. I'm
convinced that they will work but I'm a little confused on how they hook up. The OEM
770T is a torque control design which uses the hall effect sensors on the SM232BENFLN
servos. These servos also have a 1000 line encoder which apparently does not connect to
the driver. Now, do these encoders connect back to the controller board for position
information or am I amiss of something?
