False alarm. What we see here is a configuration issue. The RDY bit is used to transmit the drive identification code when the motor is off. SAE transmits a 0 because it emulates the internal drive as having a drive ID. Most old Amigas (such as the A500) use internal drives that don't transmit a drive ID (meaning that RDY stays 1 which is displayed as NO). If SAE is configured explicitly to emulate an A500, the output matches what can be seen in vAmiga.
