    No.  No I am talking about a hardware driver. Stepper motors work like AC 
motors but usually have 4 to 5 windings.  Each winding is turned on in 
sequence and each time the power is moved to another winding the shaft of the 
motor moves one step.  The "driver" I am talking about is the electronic 
control that "steps" to a different winding every time it recieves a pulse 
from an external control of some type.
    Usually you have one common wire and a seperate lead for each coil.  It 
sounds like yours only has two completely seperate coils.  Probably more 
trouble than it is worth.
    The name plate data you gave me gives no hint of what the motor needs.  
You need voltage and current numbers to even start.
