The rigid floppy was invented in Hungary in 1973, patented in 1974 but only in Hungary and Sony have stolen the idea.
- Symbiote 3y agoWorth noting the inventors in Hungary weren't capable of manufacturing it until the early 1980s. Sony released their version in 1981.
- chx 3y agoThey manufactured it starting 1979 -- but they were ready by 1975. It was just politics. The Japanese visited Járosi for the prototype many times and made a gazillion photos. There's zero doubt where the idea came from. As far as I am aware, Sony have officially recognized the idea came from Járosi and Járosi have acknowledged Sony's actual drive has improved on his.
