That's an intriguing and very real possibility, but then there's this:
http://www.mct.net/ - Does that logo look familiar? Founded in the 80s,
controller boards, interface modules, single-board computers.. but yes,
they are in Germany. I did try contacting them, but never heard back.
They claim "Embedded Control know-how since 1984." but you have 1980
and 1981 date code parts on your board. It's possible they made the
board before they knew how however. That is not unheard of. :-)
If you know the provenance of your Altair, maybe it's possible it was
at one time owned by an MCT employee or was actually used at MCT as a
development system.
There was a strong S-100 and CP/M community in this town in the late 70s,
of which I and a number of my Multi-Tech and later CDC colleagues were
a part.
