Heh heh, hardware can *always* do more than the software running it will let you... and many "proprietary" disk formats (which used the same common blanks) merely have a modified format, say skip a couple otherwise-crucial sectors, so theoretically you just need device-level access, time, and luck :) Thankfully I don't know brother typewriters, but they'd have been wise to be using COTS junk with custom software...
I've never used WordStar, marbux, but grew up with AppleWorks... however I cannot imagine any common processes to be done on openoffice docs, which seem laggy on any modern machine... granted, openoffice likes ghz+, while I imagine wordstar 7 might be totally amped on 100mhz. The biggest doc-process I've done is re-generating an index for a 100-page book, which had ~10 index items per page (big index IMO)... but my word processing is limited otherwise, so I'm curious. ben On 7/5/07, bogan smythe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ...
The interesting part for me is how this software can trick my machine into reading a single-density Brother-formatted floppy disk in a HD floppy drive.
