ABSTRACT:
A very compact drive and transducer system for removable rotational data storage media retains only a portion of the media in a housing from which drive and transducer mechanisms deploy. In the deployed position the media is held and rotated, while the transducer system is positioned at selected track locations. After usage is completed, the media is released or ejected and another can be inserted, or the deployable mechanisms can be returned to a packed configuration within the housing.
