Hello,
Has there been any attempt to locate the operating system MagicSix for
Perkin-Elmer 3200 series (previously Interdata)?
Some highlights:
- Written at MIT Architecture Machine group (now Media Labs).
- Ran on a handful of 3230s.
- Similar to Multics.
- Virtual memory, segments.
- Chaosnet is only networking option.
- Primary programming language PL/1, and/or "pl/l"?
- Hosted Emacs clone TVMacs with the SINE language.
- Had a Lisp dialect, MagicSixLisp...
- ...which was used to write ASAS, animation software used for TRON.
- Used for the 1979 virtual reality experiment "Aspen Movie Map".
