Another motors drivers...

Hi,
In other printer boards, you can work with different drivers... With Duet can you do something similar? Let's imagine that from here a while, a new driver (ex: Tmc9000) comes out
- I could use it in my duet 3 mini?
- Has this possibility been studied for Duet? (choose the number and type of drivers (it would be a way to adjust prices, for a Delta with 4 is enough, the one I'm mounting, you need 6), and if you take out (ex: Tmc900), just changing the drivers, I would update the printer

@peirof Maybe as this is in general discussions I can comment a bit.
Unless the driver chip itself was totally backwards compatible hardware wise It seems very unlikely even if you could manage do desolder and replace the chip itself.
I could only imagine the support situation if the Duet3D boards would support step sticks with not only different manufacturers Watterot, Fysetc, BTT etc but also all the different variants TMC2209, TMC5160 etc some using USART, others SPI and so on, that people would manage to insert.
