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.

This is an all-black version of the Atari 2600 Jr. There is no silver band, and there is only a small rainbow, and the Atari Fuji and “Atari 2600″ appear in white above the rainbow. We believe this version was only sold in Ireland.
from Wikipedia:
The Atari 2600 is a video game console released in October 1977. It is credited with popularizing the use of microprocessor-based hardware and cartridges containing game code, instead of having non-microprocessor dedicated hardware with all games built in.
The first game console to use this format was the Fairchild Channel F. However the Atari 2600 is credited with making the plug-in concept popular among the game-playing public.

This is my first Modem, this is a Acoustic coupler modem for Commodore PET but i could use it with a IEEE488 Interface for the Commodore 64.
The Commodore’s 8010 Modem is an IEEE-488 (1978 standard) device which communicates via any standard telephone.
The 8010 Modem meets Bell 103 standards for communication at a fixed rate of 00 BAUD. The telephone interface is acoustic so the modem is portable. This means Commodore computers can communicate with, large computer systems like The Source and MICRONET, and other small computers.
Initially Commodore supplied software will support the following applications, with many more to come.
1) Terminal emulation.
2) Disk file send and receive.
3) Wordpro 3 sequential file send.
4) Hardcopy using Commodore printers.
5) Disk spooling.
A switchable four-section bandpass filter provides out-of-band rejection assuring accurate processing of the input from received carrier, even at signal levels of less than -47 dBm.
Jitter-free data is guaranteed by a soft limiter and phase lock loop discriminator. The carrier detect circuitry prevents the CBM Modem from operating when excessive noise would produce errors or cause marginal operation. This feature also assures accurate teleprocessing connections and inhibits chatter when the received signal fades.

The Intellivision was developed by Mattel Electronics, a subsidiary of Mattel formed expressly for the development of electronic games.
The console was test marketed in Fresno, California, in 1979 with a total of four games available, and was released nationwide in 1980 with a price tag of US$299 and a pack-in game: Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack. Though not the first system to challenge Atari, it was the first to pose a serious threat to Atari’s dominance.
A series of ads featuring George Plimpton was produced that mercilessly attacked the Atari 2600′s lesser capabilities with side-by-side game comparisons.

The Neo Geo is a cartridge-based arcade and home video game system released in 1990 by Japanese game company SNK. The system offered comparatively colorful 2D graphics and high-quality sound.
A major platform for arcade games at the time, the system was also available as a costly home console. The two versions of the system were known as the AES (Advanced Entertainment System, the home version) and the MVS (Multi Video System, the arcade version).
The Neo Geo was marketed as 24-bit, though it was technically an 8/16/32-bit multiprocessing system.

from Universe Bios Homepage:
The UNIVERSE BIOS is for owners of MVS or AES hardware that want an easy way to change country region or between Arcade or Console mode on boot. Also included are other features that are not possible using the standard MVS bios.
The UNIVERSE BIOS is also designed to give easy access to things like inserting coins, test mode and memory card management when using the joystick ports only. Of course the BIOS still allows standard operation too.
