Hi Alan,

I believe they were 3-phase motors, I have not been able to drive them
(didn't try too recently), you can use the LSI or discrete drivers on
the drive's PCB. I had/have the Shugart drives! Actually, I doubt if
you'd find them useable for anything else. Much better to get surplus
NEMA #23's.
