MagicSix was an operating system similar to Multics, developed at the MIT Architecture Machine Group for Interdata/Perkin-Elmer 32-bit machines.
It hosted a LISP dialect called MagixSixLisp, in which the graphics software ASAS was first written.
It also hosted SINE ("SINE is not EINE"), perhaps the second Emacs clone after EINE.
CHAOSnet was the only networking option.
