I've verified at the hardware level that the index signal occurs
(at least going into the 8520).
I didn't see anything obviously wrong with your code, but nothing that
affects such things should have changed. Note that timing may be different,
for example from the 32-bit chip memory access, processor speed, etc. However,
properly written code shouldn't care.
Does it work on an A3000 under 1.3, or is it broken on both 1.3 and
2.0?
