...An example of a machine with a nearly useless hardware stack is the 6502.
...The stack pointer is an 8-bit register, and the first eight bits of the
...hardware stack pointer address are optionally definable by a jumper.
...As a consequence, the hardware stack is only 256 bytes long.  If you
...want to do anything more complicated than a simple video game, or perhaps
...a simple process control system, plan on building your own stack 
...manipulation subroutines.

Yas, and for Gawd's sakes, don't even think about designing a personal
computer around it!!  ;-)
