The main difference between the A2500/30 and the A3000 in this case is the
memory addressing.  On an A2500/30, you're still happy with 24 bit addressing
unless there's any A2630 expansion memory (unlikely, since to my knowledge
there's only one such board in the world...).  The A3000's Fast memory is
well out of the 24 bit address range of the original 68000.  While it would
seem rather silly for a program like a Debugger of all things would be unable 
to use full 32 bit addresses, it's a good explanation of the problem you're
having.

I have actually used DevPac myself on an A2500/30, but never on an A3000.  I
did find it to be a decent integrated assembler system, though I'm not all that
sure there's a need to have an integrated assembler system on the Amiga, since
with AREXX you can build your own integrated system from your favorite pieces.
