Anyone have a copy of "AppleTalk Phase 2 Protocol Specification" (C0144LL/A)?

I assume you took a look at the phase 2 training material on the AppleTalk for Programmers CD? You need to install Macromedia Director to view it (SN on the installation disk image). There is also the Apple LAN Literacy Course

Too bad, if I find anything else phase 2 relevant as I go through reference CDs I will let you know
Has anyone tried reaching out to one of the Authors for this?
I managed to get a hold of Alan Oppenheimer and he did not have a copy, but has anyone tried Rick Andrew or Gursharan S. Sidhu? If not I will try to reach out to them next month once my LinkedIn resets to allow me to do more connection requests.

I finally tracked down the Usenet post that indicates that this document has additional information that Inside AppleTalk 2nd Edition lacks. See: https://groups.google.com/g/comp.protocols.appletalk/c/YcJkQ8t8e7Q/m/EjOUlKL3KL8J
This post dates to 1992, so well after the revised Inside AppleTalk was released. The post does have this bit of information:

Too bad a bunch of us bidding pennies for the document wouldn't have any effect! Getting these documents digitized secures a significant piece of usable history.
If you get it, will we get color scans instead of black & white?
E: I thought I recognized that username. Is he the guy with LaserShare priced, along with some others, at frankly obscene prices? 750$ for a floppy disk? Which we have no guarantee that it even works?
I've got my eye on LaserShare, but I'm not spending that kind of money for software nobody needs.

And the flying fickle finger of fate award goes out to the jackass that tried to outbid me three times.
Sorry to hear about that.
Looks like this document has some slight differences versus the Second Edition. For example, it describes the ZIP reply packet differently. We could probably compare the two in the real world by running AppleTalk version 53 with a later version like version 56 or 57 with a packet capture utility. Otherwise I think it's an interesting document: it was probably pulled after the Second Edition came out in what looks like 1990 but they needed an interim document to help developers catch up to Phase 2 while they were working on the Second Edition.
