Several years ago I modified a Compact5 with a step/dir servo for Z and the original stepper for X, running Mach3. I also fitted a different motor in the tool changer as the original was painfully slow. There is a very poor quality video here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4PrCejPbZ8>
If I remember correctly I used an IM Service drive for the servo <http://www.cadcamcadcam.com/servo.aspx>. The drive is tiny but works quite well.
