Sounds familar. Siemens was the company that shipped the disks back to
the US from Germany!

must have cost them 50 times that to ship them back from Germany
The BIIN computers we scrapped were originally air freighted from Germany.
We opend the crates and took them apart. They were brand new, but Intel and
Siemens didn't want them out there. This was a certified destruction
contract otherwise I would have kept one. I already had all the SW. I bet
the cost to scrap ratio was more like 5000 to 1. Siemens lost a bunch of
money on that project. (Intel owned 5% and Siemens 95%.)
