One that can be controlled by hypercard XCMDS. There are a number of hypercard
XCMDs that can send frame info to (presumably) RS-232 connections on Laser
players.

not to my knowledge.

The CD Player has only one read head. If you are using it to play audio, you 
can't simultaneously use it to seek for hypercard cards. Therefore, you need
to copy the stacks on the CD-ROM to some other media so that they will be
accessible to playing the audio.
