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.
