So...  Without ripping out the current spindle motor and starting over..

It works surprisingly well - the 0-950 acts like a normal dc motor (field
voltage stays constant)  The field weakening is a bit more mushy.  Dropping
the field voltage from 115v to 28V runs the rpm up from 950 to 2500 a bit
slower..

Currently I have a 2 lincurv components that take RPM and spit out a
voltage to each drive (field and armature)  In front of that is a limit2
which limits the slew to 400rpm/sec.   If I put a pid loop around that - it
works ok - and maybe that is as good as it gets.

Thoughts?
