Can I Connect a 6-wire Unipolar Stepper Motor to the MID-7654/7652?

I am trying to connect a 6-wire unipolar stepper motor to the MID-7654/7652  motor driver and was wondering how the wiring would work on that?

It will not work since that drive is for Servo motors only, not Steppers.

Can it still be hooked up to the Step/Direct inputs?  The user manual mentions that those are the inputs that you should use if you want to control both a stepper and a servo motor, I am just not sure how that can be accomplished.

The connector is simply a pass-through for the signals generated by the motion controller card for hooking up to a separate driver compatible with stepper motors. It would be used if you had a combination of servo and stepper motors in your system used in conjunction with separate servo and stepper drives.
