[CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Help with Control Board - Bipolar Steppers

Hello,
Can someone please tell me if
this control broad will work for controlling
(3) Bipolar Stepper motors? I do not know
how to read schematics yet and cannot I tell by the specs
on this broad if it will work to control three motors
or just one. I am sure many are thinking, then why are
you looking at controllers/motors? My answer would be, to
learn how they work. I have been reading and reading, but without the
hands on
experience it seems moot. So I want to buy a controller
and motors to started working with, but I do not want
to spend much at this time as it is not time for
practical building yet. I figured building a small
table top router (24" x 24" x 4") would give me a practical
project to take me into an application that would apply
the controller and motors I purchase. My final
goal is to convert over my Boss5 to servos. But I don't
really think it would be wise to spend the money needed to do so until
I have some basic knowledge on the electronics beyond
what it takes to do such a project.
In any case, these are the specs of this inexpensive controller board
I would like to purchase, that is if it will serve the first baby steps
needed
to train me:
Multi Stepper Motor Driver and Control Board
(One) STK6822H Bipolar Driver,
Data Sheet 52V 2.5A per phase max.
(One) STK6982H 4° Unipolar Stepper Driver
52V 2.5A per phase max.,
2 SLA 4031 (D) Dual Darlington Sink Driver with
flywheel diodes.
4A @120V max each section.
HFE 2000 min 5000 typical.
Board is 4½" X 13"
Aluminum chassis/heatsink 12"L x 4½"W x 2½"H.
Board also has (2x) 12MHz crystals, power transistors,
logic and 28 dip switches for configuration/fine tuning.
Here is the PDF file of the Schematic, does this
schematic have all I need to get this borad working ...
that is if a guy know how to read it?:
www.pennswoods.net/~luke1027/Control_Schematic.pdf
And Here is a picture of the board itself:

Thanks for any advice on this controller,
Luke
