This is the one that Microsoft made a deal with Apple and got them to cancel it, but legend tells of beta copies which were leaked around the mid-80's. Apparently this guy has it.

Anyone know a source for it?

Thank you for the link, but MacBASIC seems rather elusive! MacBASIC was in fact, NOT made by Microsoft.

NOT made by Microsoft.
Wasn't it based on Apple ]['s BASIC, which WAS made by Microsoft? I'm probably wrong, but oh well.
