First I wired up a 26 pin ribbon cable and connected the VESA Feature Connnector headers of my video card (ET4000AX) and the ReelMagic Card. Getting it working was actually really simple. You can see the ribbon cable connecting the ReelMagic and my VGA card together. The booklet basically contains the manual, tech support guide and copy protection info, in lieu of seperate documents. The MPEG version just comes in a jewel case, but has the 'RealMagic' logo on the front cover of the jewel case booklet. I have the original boxed DOS CDROM version of Return to Zork which comes in a big box with 'Encyclopedia Frobizzica' (basically a printed manual with heaps of game backstory and copy protection), and 'feelies' like a sealed envelope with a 'sweepstakes winner' letter in it. There is nothing special about the cable, just a female connector on each end. Luckily I had some spare 26 conductor ribbon cable and female IDC connectors so I was able to easily wire up a connector. The ReelMagic CD doesn't use an external dongle like other models of the card, it simply uses the VESA feature connector. It didn't have any cables or software but it did have a small daughter board with an OPL2 on it (YM3812). I obtained a ReelMagic CD card from A1 Used Computers a while ago but I never bothered doing anything with it. The MPEG versions were different to the standard DOS or Windows versions of these games and usually would not run without a ReelMagic card installed in the system. As well as watching MPEG videos, a number of games and educational programs were written for the cards. The ReelMagic Cards for anyone who isn't aware, were one of the first MPEG decoder cards available for PC's. Then of course came the task of actually making it run. After searching for a couple of years I finally managed to track down a copy of Return to Zork for ReelMagic.
