   This is the OFFICIAL HyperCard, developed by Apple. It is the equivalent
of HyperCard on the Macintosh.. and I mean equivalent! It's feature for
feature identical.  Apple has been talking about this for several years,
and have finally come close to releasing it.

  Absolutely.  The IIgs has been able to support CD ROM since the original
Apple SCSI card came out.  You put in the CD, and an icon appears in the
Finder (or an application).  Totally transparent.
