We have two we are using here.  One, from Alsys requires an AT (or 386) and
about 3-4MB of expanded (I think) memory.  Therefore, it wouldn't be for you.
The other one, which we've gotten a license to use in an Ada class we're
taking, is from Meridian Software.  It's called AdaVantage, and will run on
an XT (with or without a math coprocessor).  Its a validated (legal) Ada 
compiler with an available support environment.  I haven't had a chance 
to use it much (I just got it a few days ago), so I can't comment much on 
its speed or the quality of the code it produces.  You can get it with a 
utility library, a DOS environment library and a development environment.  
I didn't handle the purchase of our license, so I don't know how much it 
costs (but based on the cost of our multi-user license, it must be well 
over $100).  I think they may also have a less capable one (possibly
a subset) for less, though.  You can contact them at:

Meridian Software Systems, Inc.
10 Pasteur Street
Irvine, CA 92718

Sorry, I don't have a phone number.  However, they do have an E-mail address
for support; they might be able to help you.  Its

support@Meridian.COM

Hope this helps.
