True.

Actually, there are the beginnings of a driver for SWIM IOP floppy
controllers. IIfx has one of those, and so does the Quadra 900/950. There
is also some information available on the IWM on the IIgs, but it might
apply to other machines as well. Work in IWM floppy controllers has been
halted I think ever since Alan stopped working on it. Yes, that was a
long time ago.
Anyway, it doesn't work, and it's not a high priority for any of the
developers.
