Optical Data Corporation now offers HyperCard stacks, called "LaserCards",
along with a number of their archival videodiscs.  They are available
in biology, earth science (geology and meteorology), physical science 
(physics and chemistry), and astronomy and space exploration.  I believe
they were also planning a CDROM release of their databases in 1989.
As of late 1987, they charged $400 for each of two Life Science discs, 
and $40 for the accompanying LaserCard stack.

The Voyager Company also has a Bio Sci "Laserguide" that indexes the
Bio Sci disc by Videodiscovery.  The disc is $495 and the stack is $99.95.
