And then JPI's product, called TopSpeed, was taken over by
Clarion; and Clarion subsequently changed their name to TopSpeed.
Most confusing.  In any case, if you want the latest version of
Turbo M2 (or the older and cheaper version 1.17), you have to
buy it from TopSpeed or from one of their distributors.  The FAQ
has a list of addresses.

If you want the really old CP/M version, you might be in trouble.
As far as I know this never got to market, although there might
have been some beta versions circulating at one stage.
