I am not familiar with any stepper motor drivers, 201 of 210 that
cannot run any 4,6 or 8 wire steppers that fall within the voltage
and current ranges.

I've been wrong before, but the chopper output does not care what
color or shape the motor has, as long as the volts/amps/induction is
withing range.
