Bob,
I am not familiar with the specifics of the mm/1, but to make it run CD-I discs
would probably be very difficult.
  For hardware you would need a dual plane video chip (supporting all special
CD-I modes), a XA-type CD drive, an ADPCM audio decoder.
  The software is the big problem.  You would have to write a whole bunch of
managers and drivers to the CD-I spec.

At close to $300 it would doubtless be cheaper to buy a consumer CD-I player.

                                   
Ken
