will it read floppy disk from BROTHER word processor

It would not read any floppy disks. I did find one at TigerDirect and CDW that works. It is a BYTECC BT-144 and is around $24 at either store.

Theoretically it should. However this device worked only twice for me and then died completely. I definitely would not recommend buying this one. I suggest you should try out a floppy drive from a more reliable brand.

No, it does not.I had to have a computer built from 'junk' parts to read 5 1/4 inch floppy diskettes.I researched this problem thoroughly and I found an 'adapter' that 'supposedly' interfaced a 5 1/4 inch drive, it was 50 bucks wasted.The drive you see here reads and writes 3 1/2 inch 1.44Mbyte 'floppies ONLY.I hope this helps.Bill P.

The SABRENT External USB 1.44 MB Floppy Disk Drive I purchased did read all the data on several of my 3.5-inch floppy disks so that I could save the data to the hard drive on my laptop and to USB thumb-drives, so the external USB 1.44 MB disk drive should be able to read your photos to save them to CDs.

YES, it works with Windows 8. If you connect the device and "Floppy Disk (A:)" fails to show in the File Explorer, type in A: on the address bar. If the files cannot be directly opened from the floppy by your software, copy the files to another folder on you hard drive, then open them. (Why? - Modern software is not designed to use slow floppy disks directly)

The unit is simply labelled as USB Floppy Disk Drive but when connected it shows as "Mitsumi USB FDD 061M" - hope this helps

I don't know; I have a Mac. I wouldn't trust the Brother website for a complete description of system requirements but rather I recommend downloading the manual and see if the system requirements as discussed in the manual works for what you have.

Yes, any type DVD it will read but your PC program (many are free) does the processing as this is only a read/write drive for a PC/mac

Yup, works perfectly with mine. Go online and download the drivers from Brother and it will walk you through the process

Mine could... and it 'should'... since all the 1.44 diskette read/writers were backward compatible. I'd heard 'they' bought these off the used market and put them in a 'USB Box'--- So, the original DD read/writers are ancient---- they went out quick in favor of the 1.44's that were backward compatible. Also, there's a Driver that comes with it you may/may-not need. So--- it 'should', mine did... but I can't promise you 100.00% anything. :-)

I honestly can't answer this....I am hoping so.......I am an author and got stuck with several older manuscripts on floppy disks...

Floppy isn't being read probably due to track alignment differences between drive used to create the floppy and trying to read it on another device. If you have an unformatted floppy, format it, and it should work.

Not sure what you are asking. Some new computers have A drive facility but a separate drive dock is necessary. This device permits you to operate a floppy via a USB connection.

Go to monigramwizard.com and look for specs or call them. I have brother machines

Yep; does everything a floppy drive is supposed to do. The only potential downside I have experienced is that it will only run when plugged into USB 2.0 or better.

If it uses a standard floppy drive, yes.There are a few drives, made by Sony and mainly used by HP, that these aren't compatible with.

Hi Walter. This drive works on 3.5 disks. It worked very well reading my old 3.5 floppies when attached to my iMac and my PC.

Don't know, but I expect so. It'll read a code and post it to just about anything on a pc...excel, wordpad and of course POS systems.
