You might try Alpha Products, they have primitive stepper controller,
(sorry it might not be primitive to you but they are to me) and for
the money it does quite a bit. I have use them on several projects
and have had no problems. As for the serial, I have never
use that method to interface to the controller but they do have it.
You will find ad's for them in Byte magazine.
