MagicSix

Operating system similar to Multics, developed at the MIT Architecture Machine Group for Interdata/Perkin-Elmer 32-bit machines.

Hosted a Lisp dialect called MagixSixLisp, in which the graphics software ASAS was first written.

Hosted SINE ("SINE is not EINE"), perhaps the second Emacs clone after EINE.
