John and all others -

I would add the quad OP-400 to the list.  It is essentially a low power
quad OP-07/77.  It also has the added advantage of being able to drive
large capacitive loads - I use it as a driver for the long cable run
leading from my seismograph to the AtoD card in my computer in addition to
using it for amplifying and filter applications.  The data shows the
OP-400 driving a 1nF load without oscillation - I took the picture when
writing the OP-400 data sheet in my previous career in new product
development and applications at PMI/ADI (we were bought out by ADI in
1990.)
