I have an M-2000.  I have installed TeX and several dvi->ps drivers
without any problems.  I got texx2 to run, but is doesn't work right
(many of the characters get randomly placed on the page).  I don't
think that it will be too hard to fix when I take a moment.  I have
transcript running, and troff that we bought from MIPS.  I have a
voodoo emacs running (capable of crashing the machine) and MIPS
supplies an older version that is probably more stable.  I am playing
with gcc, g++, and gdb.
