I'm not sure how much good a 2900 assembler would be for a 3000 series part. The 2900 has an address controller more like a typical micro computer, while the 3000 is more like playing a game of chess.
Of course, you can always use 3000 series alu's with a 2900 series address controller ( 2910 or 2911 as I recall ).

I wrote a custom disassembler for the Atari Am2900-based "Math Box" used in Battlezone, Red Baron, and Tempest, and a few others for even more obscure machines.
