This appears to be the same drive used on Brother electronic
typewriters sold in Japan.  I have one that works off the serial
port on my typewriter, a model never sold in the US.  I'd look to
do something with it, since I generally use the typewriter only
as a [very, very] dumb terminal.

Can you be more specific on the Compu$erve sources.
