    Sorry, Michael, but your understanding is wrong.  The "Gold Card"
is NOT a re-branding of an AppliCard.  They do seem similar at first
glance .  The cards are the same size and the eight 64Kx1 RAM chips
are arranged the same way at the left side of the card.  But, on the
AppliCard, the remainder of the chips are arranged horizontally
whereas on the "Gold Card" they're arranged vertically.  Also, the
"Gold Card" has chips that are not used on the AppliCard.  They are:
two 6116s (2Kx8 static RAM) and an HD46505 (CRT controller).
