I'm not exactly sure to be honest with you but I bought them on eBay a while back. I went on Google and compared mine to similar photos and found they were similar, so am assuming that they are comparable.

Good news. I finally figured out how to set up the Wizard settings and now have the stepper motor working. Took a lot of trial and error as well as some help from the forum but it all came together. Thanks for your help.

I had the fast jog set too high in the Axis Configuration in Wizard. It was originally set at 50 and I dropped it down to 25 and also had to set the Maximum Rate to match the Fast Jog rate. This seemed to make the difference in getting the motors turning.
