JR, The problem isn't the drive electronics…the problem with trying to read those disks is: 1. How many tracks 2. How many sides 3. How many sectors per track. 4. Method used to encode the data (MFM, RLL, GCR) 5. Is the text compressed 6. Are there control codes in the text 7. What does the sector header look like 8. What does a data sector look like 9. How are the files on the disk organized 10. Where is the sector map Get the idea? It's not as simple as can the disk be read, there are many variables involved, and to have any chance of success you've got to know most of them, and take an educated guess at the others. In particular, if you don't know how the Brother organizes it's files, even if you could read the data….you'd have no way to put it together. It'd be like several jigsaw puzzles all thrown together…and you'd have to separate it by hand and rebuild it. Don
