Unlikely. It's this thing:
<https://reverb.com/item/77357892-liontracs-megafloppy-90-s-black>
and apparently it predates the Lion's Tracs brand (and arrangers): the
website megafloppy.com's first capture on archive.net already points to
the liontracs.com website which states that it supercedes the
megafloppy.com website and several others.
