I know how to use Apple File Exchange to read disks from DOS, Apple II, and
ProDOS into my Mac.  Are there any other disk exchange formats available?
If so, where can I find them?  If not, is there any way  to read the disk
directly, sector by sector, and then try to write my own?

Specifically, I need to read 800K disks produced by a Panasonic WordProcessor
machine.  It has a built in printer, but no printer port and no means to
out put data.  It does store data on 800K disks, but they are not in any
format recognized by the Apple File Exchange.
