	I've talked with Greg McCrea <Greg_McCrea@bbs.macnexus.org> while he was
working on a prototype sep-x controller that used a modified Kostov, but I
was not aware that these had gone into production as yet. The ratings
you've given are quite reminiscent of that system. 

	In answer to Mr Brooks original question:

	If it is a Sep-X system, you can't mix and match motors. You must use the
Kostov that comes with the system. I have heard zero complaints about
Kostov motors in racing and in everyday use. The only thing negative that I
have heard is that the fan is a bit loud.
