In regard to the query about the AdaVantage compiler from Meridian
systems for the IBM PC, I saw a demo of the compiler last week at the
SIGAda meeting in Hollywood Florida.  It seems to work quite well and
was reasonably fast on a PC/AT.  The two principals developing the
compiler are Eric Olsen and Stephen B. Whitehill, who among other past
accomplishments such as developing C and Pascal compilers for Zilog 8000
systems wrote an Ada text called Ada for Programmers, Reston Publishing,
1983.

Of course its not validated, but it appears to be a complete
implementation.  Meridian says that those who purchase the compiler now
can get the validated version (whenever that happens) for an additional
$50.  

I don't now much more than that.  But at this price, it looks good
enough to purchase for evaluation.
