I think that the 7912AD, 7612D, and 7854 are examples. Kurt (talk) 15:25, 23 July 2019 (PDT)

Update on the "programmable" Mainframes: Only the 7612D and the 7912 family natively support the GPIB functionality of the programmable plug-ins. The 7854 plug-in bays are identical to any conventional 7000 series mainframe and do not have the extra detection circuits for the modified TS mode. The "7704AP" mentioned in the interface manual is remains a mystery. Gregor 20 August 2020
