Here is the summary I promised. There is not much good news. Nothing
more than the original info. There doesn't even seem to be an email
address to order the tape from berkeley. A copy is also going to a few
aus groups.
I haven't listed it but archie did show a copy of magic V6 in someones
ftp archive but it was only a binary and it was missing the libraries to
start it up. (that was osceola.cs.ucf.edu in the /pub/vlsi/bin )
It is not much use in that other things seem to be required.
Anyway - thanks to all who replied. I am still looking and would
appreciate any new info.

 Sorry I can't help with your magic ftp request but it may interest
 you to know that the orignal development of magic was funded by the FBI
 hence the restrictions. Apparently the FBI intended to make chips.
 An alternative that you may want to consider are the Caltech tools,
 Analog, WOL etc. from Carver Mead's group, we use them here and I
 have not seen any export restrictions or disclaimers in the source.
