At least one product that ships with this driver is Filemaker II, from
Claris Corporation (it was also distributed by Nashoba when Filemaker was
Filemaker 4).

If someone at Apple is not forthcoming with info on how to obtain and
legally distribute the AppleTalk driver for Mac Plusses (or if you can't
effectively work your way through the maze of developer support, service,
and marketing offices at Apple :-)), you might try getting in touch with
the FileMaker team at Claris (of course, assuming your product is not
going to be in direct competition with FileMaker -- but then you don't
have to discuss any unannounced products :-)).
