Abstract
An information read/write storage system for reading and writing data to and from a flexible magneto-optic media is shown to include a magnetic recording member, having a recording head positioned proximate the media, for recording information onto the media at a recording point, the recording point being defined as the area of the media wherein information is being recorded at any given time and an optical read/write assembly for providing focused light onto the media during reading and writing, for receiving reflected light from the media to read the information and for continuously providing focused light onto the media for heating the recording point while the magnetic recording member is recording.
