I do get a small voltage from the motor pins when I flex the ring, but 
at the time I had no information on what the pins did. I now have the 
service manual, which has a schematic of the drive circuit (an 
H-bridge). It shows four signals going to the motor, Phase A, Phase B, 
Ground, and Feedback. One plan might be to reproduce the circuit and 
have LinuxCNC provide the signals, then see what the feedback does or 
maybe see the motor move. There are a couple of 200 Volt capacitors in 
the circuit so this should make it more interesting.
