I do not think the article is correct.  Megathon 2400 was the early name for the
Risc 2500.  The reason for the change of name was probably that Fidelity (owned
by H&G) at the same time planned to release a Challenger 2400 in a modified
Designer board with Risc processor and a program from Ed Schroeder.

Of course Risc 2500 sounds much stronger than Challenger 2400, but as far as I
know the Challenger 2300 and Challenger 2400 never saw the light of day.
