No, that wouldn't be much different from the original jacket. I was
thinking more like actual slides. A thick rigid base and a very thin,
hard cap, with the media immobile between them. The whole assembly
would turn in the reader. I don't know whether the media could actually
be read through that, but if so, it would cure a world of ills.
SS disks could be permanently mounted; DS you'd have to be able to
remove and reverse the disk.

wondering if the disk media could be "mounted" like a specimen
on a slide. Then a flying head wouldn't be an issue, and multiple
passes become possible.
Maybe something like the caddies used for old-style CD-ROM drives?
