SME Boss: Six-wire unipolar motors can be used also with bipolar drives by
not using one end-wire per winding, but this arrangement is not as efficient as
either an "all-bipolar" connection or proper use of a unipolar drive.

However, a Unipolar DRIVER will NOT work with a bipolar motor at all.

Lotsa luck!
