And it also requires the availability of the Bus Interface
Chip, which must go into the empty socket on the NeXT's
board (You must have seen that if you intalled the 1.0 ROM),
and also into the board anybody is building.

What's the status of the Bus chip availability?
When do 3-rd party board developers get them (if not already)?
And when do we get one for our cubes?
