Abstract
An optical read/write storage system for reading and writing data to and from a flexible optical media is shown to include an optical read/write head for providing focused light onto the flexible media and for receiving reflected light from the flexible media and a fine movement stabilizater, connected to the optical head and positioned proximate the flexible media, for stabilizing the flexible media in a desired position so that the optical head need not be moved substantially toward or away from the media in order to maintain the light focused on the media.
