Can someone give me some information on a bipolar driver board?

One of my dad's friends used to work for Applied Motion Products. Anyway he gave me a bipolar driver board: The 057A Oscillator board from Applied Motion Products. It can handle up to 8 four-wired stepper motors but that is all I know. If someone could please give me some information on this board especially any sort of software that I could use to drive three steppers for a CNC project I would be greatful.

I found the same question in three other places, and a manual.

It's just like a regular driver board, except on some days it just can't get out of bed.

Does the manufacturer have a website? Do they have support documentation?

There is but this controller is old and they no longer have any support for this particular model.

If you directly email them maybe theres an engineer near and dear to it that still has a pdf or something for you.
