Sorry to say, Turbo Modula-2 is only available for CP/M-80 machines.
That's why Borland isn't selling. Turbo Modula-2 is being sold by
Echelon, Inc.

It might be best if you got the FTL Modula-2 compiler (from Workman &
Associates). It's fast, and it only costs $49.95.

     Question:  How close does FTL follow the Modula-2 standard?  Can it
handle generic source?  Or are there tradeoffs involved?

     How fast/large is the resultant object code?  I was not impressed with
the code that Turbo produced ( relatively slow ).

     Does FTL produce m-code, or true machine code?
