[comp.sys.mac] Need Detailed Documentation on AppleTalk/LocalTalk

munson@renoir.Berkeley.EDU (Ethan V. Munson) (03/03/89)

A friend is looking for detailed information on what used to be called
AppleTalk but may be called LocalTalk now.  He has Inside Mac which
refers to a document called "Inside AppleTalk" which does not appear to
be available on a retail basis.  Where can we find this book?
Is there any substitute?  My friend apparently needs to understand the
protocol and specifications from the wire up.

Inside AppleTalk is available through the Apple Programmer's and
Developer's Association.   There is an annual membership charge you
must pay in order to gain access to their wide variety of Macintosh
and Apple ][ Technical materials......

Inside AppleTalk is also supposed to be released as an Addison-Wesley 
book.  The draft copy I have gives the printing data as March 1989.
