Mystery driver and motor

Hello all,
I purchased a ballscrew from an auction and it came with a driver
and motor. The only problem is that I don't know precisely what they
are, their specifications, how to wire the driver etc. There are
very few markings and these all result in a dead end when I Google
them.
My first thought was that the motor was 4 phase Unipolar as it had 5
wires excluding the earth. In addition the driver has a switch
labeled H and F which I guess could be half and full step.
What confused me was the motor (Nema42) did not have the same
coarse "ratchety" feel as other stepper motors which I have. Perhaps
this means that they are better quality or higher resolution ie 400
steps or perhaps a difference type of motor entirely. How can you
tell?
The driver is also a bit of a mystery to me. It's made in Japan. It
has a circuit attached to the top by a local Australian firm which
has 2 fiber optic cables attached. It appears to have a built in
transformer (ie from Ac100v to whatever)
Running down the unit it has the following:
Red "POWER" Led
Green "MONI" Led – ??
Yellow "HEAT" Led - ?? running hot warning??
Switch for "F" or "H" – I assumed this was Full vs Half
"C.ADJ" trimmer pot ??
"CC.ADJ" trimmer pot ??
"CW+" (PS VCC)??
"CW-" ??
"CCW+" (PS VCC)??
"CCW-" ??
"CO+" (PS VCC)??
"CO-"??
"MON"??
`HEAT"??
"COM –`
BLUE – These are the motor wires
RED– These are the motor wires
WHT– These are the motor wires
BRN– These are the motor wires
BLK– These are the motor wires
AC100V – I assume this is the main power input which should
obviously be 100v.

I have posted pictures at (if any one is interested):

It would be good to know what the step and direction inputs would be.

Sorry for the long detailed post.
Anyway any advice/hints would be appreciated.

Thanks
Robert
