I think not... Both from memory and your timeline for Pertec's acqusition
of MITS in a later message. The Altair 8 inch floppy disk subsystem was
available in late 1975 as evidenced in a MITS catalog (shown on my web
site) and a mid-1976 price list. Although they did use Pertec floppy drive
mechanisms.
