Hi 
 I don't thinks so. as far as I know all ST251's supported auto stepping.
There might be a minor difference when single stepping using the millisecond
timing. As I recall they needed something on the order of 8 or 10 milliseconds.
One might be a little faster.
 When I was playing with mine, the original drive was 6 milliseconds.
Way to fast for the ST251. I then switches to using the auto stepping,
since then the controller didn't need to know anything about the step rate.
As I recall, the WD1000 will use auto stepping if you select 0 for the step
rate.
