I have been using a ULN2003 datlington driver package for running my LEDs,
would that work for driving the motor?

Hmm.. the motors have four wires.  Three for each coil, one for common.  I 
don't see how to tell which is common though, they are unmarked and have 
the same reistance.

I'll poke around with one and see if I can get it to do more than twitch.
