I am not a computer expert, but what does these magnetic discs mean. Are those the same type big discs that we used to see many years ago in the IT departments here in the US. Please keep in mind that the Iraqi in 1997 had an old computer system and may have not have more modern systems until late 2001, 2002
Magnetic disks is just the translated word for hard drive (of a computer). It actually could be USB key, or other kind of 'flash' drive as well but knowing the years, I would think PC's or at least their HDD was removed and shipped to be 'stored' somewhere secret. A typical computer hard drive is only 3.inches thick, and are less than a foot long. Could stack hundreds in a simple, single crate.

Thank you very much for the information. I think some of these magnetic discs were large data storage for the Iraqi main frame computer network.

Call me goofy, but I still believe that the Hussein regime had at least a portion of the WMDs it was suspected (by the whole world) that they had prior to the war, and that the many months of largely unsupervised threats, negotiations, and challenges that Iraq endured prior to the invasion was time enough for Saddam to hide many of these weapons in friendly neighborhood nations such as Syria (whose Baathist regime was closely aligned to that of Iraq's).

First time tonight someone's said that to me, and thanx for it. Also it's the last, as I'm going to *YAWN**SIGH*YAWN* bed now.
Sleep tight, FReepers.
