  I have no idea, and the man best suited to answer the
 question is gone now ;(  I'm sure some documentation
 still remains.  Bruce Damer of the DigiBarn might
 actually have some relevant stuff.  And least of all,
 I'm pretty certain all of Jef's notes and such will be
 preserved. 

Perhaps this fellow could provide some insight as well:

Scroll down about half-way to the end of the page to read about his time & 
involvement with Information Appliance, Inc.

Bonus: there's a way-cool photo of a Swyft prototype (in a plexi-glass 
shell, no less) for the Canon Cat on this web page.
