Megavision S3 and Batpac questions

[Greg_E]

OK, I know this back is what could be considered ancient, but I'm looking for some info that has so far escaped me. Emails to Megavsion seem to go nowhere, or bounce back as undelivered.   No I haven't tried calling yet, simply because what I need is not immediate, I'm willing to wait a couple days for an answer. And I hate to put people on the spot when discussing used gear.

After trying a search a couple of times, I didn't find many hits for Megavision or mega-vision. This probably indictes that there are few posts (or I'm using the search incorrectly  ), so here we go.

Can anyone point me to a mount for the S3pro for a Mamiya 645 Super or Pro body? B&H lists them, and I have an email in to them.

Can anyone tell me what the largest size drive is that the Batpac can use? And can I use a CF card through a PCMCIA adapter with the Batpac?

Does anyone know if there is Windows software that can deal with the files that come out of the Batpac?

Is there a PDF of the user manual for the Batpac? I have the user manual for the S3, but haven't read the entire thing yet. Flipping through it, the Batpac is mentioned a few times, but it doesn't look like it is covered in detail.

Thanks, Greg.

Thanks, I did get a message back from him shortly after posting this.

They have many different mounts on hand.

The Batpac can be used with 1 or maybe 2 GB CF cards with a PCMCIA adapter.

They do not have a Windows version of the Photobatch software, and it still only runs on OS9 or earlier.


Mr. Chang said that they recently switched hosts, and things were getting lost. The good news is that they are still around, and still developing new devices.
