I'm not sure how much good a 2900 assembler

There seems to be the presumption the bit slices have a uniform organization
like a micro. They generally don not.
AMDASM is a metaassembler; it has no such presumption.
The
opcodes and micro code are
assigned
and created by the developer and their minions along the lines of some
architecture they wish to create. they tend to have a pattern and thats
about it.
AMDASM works fine with that. It can even support bitfields that are
discontiguously stored in the microword.
