IIRC, RETI is used with Mode 2 interrupts to allow for interrupt
daisy-chaining. Unless you've got hardware which uses them to vector
interrupts to a table, you really don't want to use them.

I'm curious.. why are you using Mode 2 interrupts? It's slower than the
regular ones, as it has to look up a vector table instead of just doing an
RST &38.

(Note: I'm incredibly rusty, so I might be completely off base here).

I'm using mode 2 because my code is/can run external memory to get more speed. Based on simcoupe I don't think there is speed problem with mode 2 it gets fired before real line 0. But what do I know!

It still sounds most likely to be a re-triggered interrupt, even if the
status port is &FF by the time you check it.  Is your interrupt handler
fairly short? (close to the 128 cycles the interrupt is active for)

If you can e-mail me a test disk image I'll be happy to take a look.

Yes its 76 cycles long, so that must be what's happening. While we are on
the subject, is there any reason to use RETI over using just RET with
interrupts.
