If you are wanting to use the IP-A then you will need a drive that accepts analogue signals. I dont think there are any of the lower end drives normally associated with Mach that can accept that, they are all Step/Dir as far as I am aware.
If you keep a watch out on eBay you will likely find some drives suitable, what you need to look for are ones that have the voltage and current capacity of the motors you want to use.
I am not sure what kind of cost the AMC drives are as I have never bought any but if they are relatively expensive it may be better looking at complete AC Servo motors and drives. They are not that cheap either but you can often pick up nice ones for a reasonable price on eBay and often there are Samsung Fara drives and motors in the 750W to 1Kw range on eBay from Korea.
