Borland's Turbo Modula 2 was sold in the US by a number of companies. 
Among them was (is?) MicroMint (I believe that is the name anyway. I do
have some of their literature stashed somewhere.)  MicroMint markets
(marketed?), among other things, the SB-180 single board
computer/controller operating under ZCPR (an improved public domain CP/M
compatible operating system) and sold TM2 as a development tool for it,
including a graphics module add-on. 

TM2 is not quite of the mythical proportions stated.  If anything, from
what I have seen, TM2 was more well known than FTL and more companies
seemed to have listed it in their catalogs.  I even copy of a
Microcornucopia magazine with a review / comparison of TM2 vs FTL M2. 
Each had different strengths.  From what I recall:  TM2 was slightly less
standard than FTL, but had some nice extensions.  FTL had some nice
libraries.  I don't recall the benchmarks.  It was worth having both as
they were both from $50-100.
