National Semiconductor have their own compiler (they told me Ford in the US
requested it, they use Modula-2 for some embedded applications (probably
factories), I've also heard that GM uses Modula) which is now in beta-testing.
It is going to be fully released in a couple of months. You should probably
talk to Ulf Samuelsson at NatSemi in Stockholm.  The 1-pass ("non-standard"
IMHO ;-)) compiler written by Wirth can be obtained from ETH (call Institut
for Informatik and get hold of Wirth's secretary or something).  There are two
companies in Europe which are good at getting hold of Modula-2 compilers for
all sorts of machines.

(I couldn't find their address. If someone knows, please post it
or email it to Antti-Pekka. Albert Meier @ A+L does some *good*
work).

Both of these companies seem do really know what they're doing.

Also, Introl has a compiler for the NS32000 series (I think). I don't
have the address of Introl either.

Even though I work for M2CS it should perhaps mention that M2CS
is coming out with a pretty er... 'revolutionary' programming
environment for embedded systems development (we have lots of
stuff you'd only expect on LISP workstations). The first targets
supported will be NS32xxx and M68xxx. We're not going to release
the system just yet, you can email me (frode@m2cs.uu.no) for
more info.
