from Wikipedia:

The Atari 7800 ProSystem, or simply the Atari 7800, is a video game console re-released by Atari Corporation in June 1986.

The original release had occurred two years earlier under Atari Inc. The 7800 was designed to replace Atari Inc.’s unsuccessful Atari 5200 and later to re-establish Atari Corp.’s market supremacy against Nintendo and Sega.

With this system, Atari Inc. addressed all the shortcomings of the Atari 5200: it had simple digital joysticks; it was almost fully backward-compatible with the Atari 2600; and it was affordable (originally priced at US$140).

from Wikipedia:

The Commodore 64 is an 8-bit home computer released by Commodore International in August, 1982, at a price of 595 USD.

Preceded by the Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore MAX Machine, the C64 features 64 kilobytes (65,536 bytes) of RAM with sound and graphics performance that were superior to IBM-compatible computers of that time.

It is commonly known as the C64 or C=64 and occasionally referred to as CBM 64 (Commodore Business Machines Model number 64), or VIC-64. It has also been affectionately nicknamed the “breadbox” and “bullnose” due to the shape and colour of the first version of its casing.

here my collections of Commodore Floppy Drive.

The Oceanic OC-118N Floppy Drive has a external power supply, one diskette station with one read / write head and a motherboard.

On the motherboard you will find RAM and ROM memory, twice a 6522 VIA and a 6502 processor.

The Oceanic OC-118N disk drive is a smart device, reading and writing works independent of the connected computer.

64COPY is an all-purpose DOS and C64 emulator file manager, modelled after Norton Commander, and runs fine under the Windows XP/2000 DOS VDM, or in real DOS.

64COPY will run in a Windows Vista 32-bit VDM, but Vista 64-bit has no VDM support at all. It specializes in converting and manipulating emulator files between various formats. 64COPY does not do any communication to the 1541/71/81 floppy drives to read disks. If that is what you need, download Star Commander for that task.

Some of what 64COPY does includes:

• File conversion between D64 (all types, including the F64 variant), D71, D81, D80, D82, DNP, D2M, T64, G64, ZipCode (all types), PC64 (Pxx, Sxx, Uxx, Rxx), LNX, DOS binaries, ARC, CRT, SDA, X64, LBR, ARK, SPY and CPK files.
• A very powerful 6502 Disassembler.
• TEXT, HEX and D64 HEX editors.
• FILE viewer.
• BASIC unlister.
• D64, D71, D81, D80 & D82 directory customizer.
• Check disks and T64, ZipCode, G64, F64 and CRT files for errors.
• A whole lot more!
