To the best of my knowledge anyway, that's still true, but there's a
nice, shiny turbocube sitting to my left taunting for time and spare
disk (wouldn't want to blow away my clean NeXTStep 3 install!) to
work on it. In any case, NeXTStep is quite useable on that machine
(though I wouldn't dream of letting its vaguely 4.2BSD TCP/IP stack
outside of my firewall).

Fwiw, I also have an 030 cube I'd be willing to lend to someone with
development time but no hardware. (There's no attached monitor,
unless you want to take my second head from the turbocube and give
me a soundbox to use. All loans, of course. I want both cubes in the
long run. :^>)

I'm vaguely more interested in playing with PowerPC 601 support on
a PowerMac 7200 motherboard a little further down the workbench,
though... ;^>

=2E.. and DMA support should be getting better on mac68k vaguely soon,
especially on the AV models. Don't know how much of that is
stealable by next68k, though.
