The spindle motor (3 phase) and stepper/servo drives (DC)
don't have to be powered from the same source. Use 3phase
(or 2phase to 3 phase 220V phase converter for the spindle)
and 120VAC to power the stepper/servo drives (through a DC
supply, of course).

However I'm not sure thats the answer you are looking for, if you
mean to use all of the existing BOSS electronics....
