I don't see the connection, many 70's computers aren't
stackable, including all the single board "no case"
computers. In addition, you can make any unstackable
computer stackable by putting it in a box. Personally,
none of my computers are stack, so its not a problem
for me, my computers are all on their own shelfs (Home
Depot adjustable shelves, from 5 to 12 shelves from
floor to ceiling to accommodate various sized
computers). Manuals and books are stack in boxes
though.
