631502 2008-01-18 21:03:00 I have a Panasonic "Lap Top Word Processor" WL50, bought over thirteen years ago. I'd like to transfer the data stored on the unit's discs to a computer. Does software exist that would allow the processor to "talk" with a computer? Unfortunately, Panasonic no longer offers technical support for the WL50. RFox (13300)

But as for data conversion, I'd guess that it would have a proprietary disk format (not readable by a normal PC disk drive/program), you'd need to go to somebody like this

They mention your machine here

Does it have any standard interfaces/sockets (Serial, parallel etc), tho you may have to experiment with these on a deeply technical level, dont know if you'd get much help there unless someone here has had experience with these machines.
