My HP41/71/75 (i.e. the HPIL-capable models) have the 82169 HPIB 
interface. It can be the controller or just a talker/listener.

And I have the HP3421. This is an HPIL-controller digital 
voltmeter/frequnecy meter/ohmmeter (2 and 4 wire) with a 10 channel input 
mux and an 8 bit digital in/8 bit digital out card. Paid 10 quid for it, 
complete with an HP85 and some other bits...
