I've been using sbtex, ftp anonymous-ly from simtel20.arpa, on an
AT-clone and an AT&T 6300, and I'm very pleased. If you decide to try
it, get both dostex and sbtex, the former has all the .tex, .fmt and
.sty files you will need Both supoort LaTeX and AMSTeX. For dvi -> HP
or PostScript, use Nelson Beebe's drivers, available from science.utah.edu

I can't comment on TurboTEX, I have no experience with it. Other people
in the Department use PC-TeX. Thought you may be interested.
