    boss 5 retrofit

    I have a bridgeport boos 5 and I am tired of chasing transistor problems. So I want to retro it while still using the boss steppers. Here's what I have for a parts list. Please tell me if these parts will work together well and be dependable.
    Keling parts http://www.kelinginc.net/CNCNEMA34Package.html
    3 kl-9082 drivers
    1 kl-7220 power supply
    unregulated 1440W
    72vdc/20A
    120 vac
    1 pcs c10 breakout board
    1 5V power supply
    Mach3

    It's using a machinemaster control now, so that will be for sale when I'm done.

    My big question is how to run the 8 wire motors with 4 wire drivers. I think I found how to wire them but I'm not sure. Do I wire it in parallel, or serial, or am I on the wrong path

    Any help is appreciated. I know very little about electronics, except on Buell motorcycles, so wiring for dummies is welcome.

    Thanks Matt
