Just today I had in my hand the Borland book for their M2, it's real and you can order it and the interpreter/compiler from *real* people. Catch is that Borland isn't selling it! The "Borland Turbo" M2 was developed by an outside s/w house and is being sold by them. Name escape's me, but it's right there on the cover, along with Borland. Check out the recent BYTE's for Ciarcia's pieces on his new computer -- there is a reference to this s/w house. I did inspect the manual, over lunch. The M2 is apparently a variation of the M2M interpreter, though there is mention of producing assembler code. There are two versions, one for the Z80 (CP/M) and another for the new Ciarcia board. An editor and linker are supplied. COM files may be produced. We could not tell is the asm output could be ROMable or not. Will know more shortly as the owner puts it up on his Z80, CP/M machine.
