It's pretty unlikely that Turbo Optimizer will still work.  It sounds
like the compiler has been changed a lot, and since its now capable of
using large model, I suspect the code generator has changed a whole
lot.  You should contact Turbo Power to find out for sure.

PS:  at 27,000 lines/minute on an 8-Mhz AT I really doubt that its
doing a whole lot of optimization itself.  Although the guy that
wrote that compiler >>is<< awfully clever...
