Bitsavers archives the August 1985 issue of The AI Dispatch Xerox newsletter which contains the article Age-old Method for Organizing Information is Rejuvenated about NoteCards. From the article:

The new NoteCards-D'" System developed by Xerox puts the simple, familiar features of the standard index card at your fingertips and then amplifies them by the power and flexibility of the Interlisp-D programming environment.

I've never seen NoteCards spelled with the "-D" suffix elsewhere, was it an early product name? Also from the article:

NoteCards-D should prove a boon to many a researcher not to mention the struggling college student. Term papers may never be the same again.

I'm not sure how many college students could afford or had access to a D-machine. 😀
