Hi Steve!

Actually I have seen the Saitek Megathon on the Nurnberger Spielwarenmesse in -
I believe - 1991. It was the same period when H+G was presenting the Mephisto
Risc 1 MB. In the Saitek prospects it surely was called the Megathon, but when
the machine actually came on the market, the new name was Saitek Risc 2500.

We can only guess why the name was changed, but it seems fair to conclude that
Saitek Megathon = Saitek Risc 2500.

Mephisto III regards, Jeroen
