I can't see it happoening myself. The 0-90v units look like they run off 115vac input. (u.s. ver)
On 230vac input they give you 0-180v (looks like this is what you are finding). (u.k. ver)

The official boards are these by the looks of it:

PLEASE NOTE:
There is only one board that puts out 0-90v on a 230vac input and that is the:
KBIC-240DS
This is extremely likely the one you need.

(Initially the motor would be the u.s. standard one and they threw a quick fix board in for u.k voltages). Because it was cheaper!.

There's 3 options here.
1. you find a 180v motor for it.
2. have to resort to the buying the KB control board.
3. get 115Vac input to the sprint 400.
I might have blown mine up. There was a cascade of errors which led to me basically replacing a lot of the electronics.
I got a second hand board from ebay. It looks identical to the original board, and identical to the ones that I've seen in photos of other Denford micromills. The sprint board has a jumper which lets you set the input voltage to 230V (or 110V) so I'm not sure why you think I need the KB driver.
