Ran into this last summer, myself. Had used a Brother Word Processor
for years, conveniently forgetting that all things break down eventually.
Had scores of floppies dedicated to their proprietary format. With each
model "upgrade," the previous format became obsolete, so that none of
the newer brother models would read the older brother-formatted floppies.
When the original old tank tanked, brother said tuff, and I ended up
having to hire an outside firm to transfer the data from the old brother
floppies to "new" msdos floppies.
(Will NEVER do business with brother again in any way whatsoever).
Now, so long as I can still get floppy drives... (Saw a portable USB
one the other day).

Isn't there utilities that go back all the way to ProDos on the Mac and
all the proprietary sorts of files like MacLink+ for both Windows and
