Rodime was an electronics company specialising in hard disks, based in Glenrothes, Scotland. It was founded in 1979 by several Scottish and American former employees of Burroughs Corporation and listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1986, becoming Rodime PLC. Some ex-Rodime engineering staff went on to form Calluna Technology, which specialised in 1.8 inch PC Card form-factor hard disks. In 2000, Rodime PLC performed a reverse takeover of the Littlewoods gaming business, thus changing its principal business to gaming and betting. Soon after, it changed its name to Sportech PLC.

has abstract	Rodime era una compañía de electrónica que especializa en discos duros, basados en Glenrothes, Escocia. Fue fundada en 1979 por varios empleados escoceses y americanos de Burroughs Corporation y listado en la Bolsa de valores de Londres en 1986, deviniendo Rodime PLC. Rodime produjo una amplia gama de discos duros, inicialmente dispositivos compatibles ST-506 en formato 5,25, más tarde lanzando el primer disco duro de 3,5 del mundo y fabricando también discos SCSI y ATA. Debido a la competencia creciente y retrasos en desarrollar productos nuevos, Rodime devendría sin beneficios desde 1985, por lo que un paquete de reestructuración financiera se puso en marcha en 1989. Aun así, en 1991, Rodime cesó de fabricar y quedó reducido a una compañía de holding que continuaba para seguir las demandas judiciales sobre patentes contra otros fabricantes de disco duros como Quantum Corporation y Seagate. Algún exempleados del personal de ingeniería de Rodime fundaron , que se especializó en los discos duros de 1,8 pulgadas para tarjetas PC Card. En 2000, Rodime PLC realizó una absorción inversa del negocio de apuestas de , cambiando por ello su negocio principal al juego y apuestas. Poco después, cambia su nombre a PLC. (es) Rodime was an electronics company specialising in hard disks, based in Glenrothes, Scotland. It was founded in 1979 by several Scottish and American former employees of Burroughs Corporation and listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1986, becoming Rodime PLC. Rodime produced a wide range of hard disks, initially 5¼-inch form-factor ST506-compatible devices, but later launching the world's first 3½-inch hard disk, as well as producing SCSI and ATA drives. Of particular note, Rodime produced the hard disks used in Apple Computer's first external hard drive for the Macintosh, the Macintosh Hard Disk 20, which connected to the external floppy disk drive port found on Macintosh computers from that period. Due to increasing competition and delays in developing new products, Rodime became unprofitable after 1985, and a financial restructuring package was put in place in 1989. However, in 1991, Rodime ceased manufacturing and was reduced to a holding company which continued to pursue patent litigation against other hard disk manufacturers such as Quantum and Seagate. Some ex-Rodime engineering staff went on to form Calluna Technology, which specialised in 1.8 inch PC Card form-factor hard disks. In 2000, Rodime PLC performed a reverse takeover of the Littlewoods gaming business, thus changing its principal business to gaming and betting. Soon after, it changed its name to Sportech PLC. (en)
