The half-finished last episode

It's fairly well-known that Galactica 1980 was canned halfway through filming on the 11th episode, called 'The Night They Kidnapped Cleopatra' or something similar. I also heard Kent McCord refused to appear in it, as he was apparently miffed they'd turfed him and van Dyke aside in favour of Dirk Benedict for the last complete episode. So, my question is:

Does the footage shot for the eleventh ep still exist, how much of it is there, and does anyone have a copy? :)

I've also heard that the 11th episode was in production.
If you find it, let me know as well.
I have the script, bu I'd like to see what was shot.

Actually, that is a rumor. They could not have filmed any sizeable porthion of that as both the characters of Troy and Dillon were featured prominently in that episode (I actually had a copy of the unfilmed script at one point) If there was such footage, it would have and it survived, it would have surely appeared on the DVD release. But my contact at Universal says there wasn't even a production number assigned to it. There was a temporary number assigned when the script is registered but once filming begins, then an updated number is assigned.
