The motors in the machine are a funny 5 pole design - and it's almost impossible to find different drivers for them. Most people seem to replace the motors.
I figured the motors were perfectly good - so it made more sense to re-use the existing drives & motors.
They are not the smoothest or quietest, compared to modern drivers - but they work just fine. They give 0,01mm resolution which is sufficient.
