Toms Easy CNC Stepper Motor Driver

You can build a 3 axis full step unipolar board like Tom's Easy for less than $30 in parts^ on a whiteboard or by etching your own PCB:

The design is based on a pair of logic chips, the first one is a simple counter, and Tom has used it to generate logic 00, 01, 10 and 11 on two of the outputs. This is then fed to the second chip which converts it to 1000, 0100, 0010, 0001 which feeds the MOSFET transistors so turning each phase of the motor on in sequence. Another way of doing this is shown here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stepper_Motor_Driver_CD.png

There are a few limitations:

Having said all that, they seem to work pretty well for Tom's little CNC mill design:
