Ha !
I'm pleased to hear that we germans aren't behind all the time :-)
I got my Mega4 without problems 3 months ago.
Currently I'm running a full implementation of Smalltalk80 on it.

As my dealer told me, the Mega 2 has slow ram chips inside.
If you want to upgrade the Mega2 you have to replace these chips by faster
ones. Otherwise ram refresh might not work.
