I need to retrieve data from an old Brother wordprocesser...?
But I cant't find any record of ANY wordprocessers ever EXISTING at their website or online! It is a Brother CT-1400,and still has info on it which I need to retrieve.I believe it has an early hard drive,so my hope is that it is still stored somewhere,and retrievable.Can anyone offer any assistance or suggestions?

Not sure. The ones I used didn't store anything on a hard drive. If you wanted to save documents you typed, you had to do so on a floppy disk.
During the heyday of word processors, hard drives were extremely expensive and even some entry-level computers didn't have them. (120Mb was about $200). They used tape drives instead.
Of course today, hard drives are huge and relatively cheap. But I doubt you have a hard drive on that processor. If you do, and it is vital information, you could probably take it to a computer shop where they can remove the hard drive and try to retrieve the information with computer software. It might be expensive.
