No photos, but back in college I built a frame under my loft (i.e. bed
was on stilts) to hold RK07 packs, which worked nicely. It was basically
a single shelf suspended from the 2x8 frame of the loft, but instead of
a flat surface, the "shelf" was just a pair of 2x4s, angled to match the
round disk cartridges (which were on edge). The ends (and I think one
point in the middle) were suspended in square frames made of 2x4s, with
the bottom ones notched to fit the angled 2x4 runners. It did a great
job of keeping the disk packs out of trouble.
The end view was something like this:
