- when I boot the machine in 030 mode, it doesn't want to see any AUTO folders, neither on hard disk/CF card nor on floppy. I can start HDDriver from floppy from the desktop though and all partitons will be mounted and run ok. It just doesn't execute any startup items in 030 mode. Is this a known problem?
This is not normal. I suppose your IDE is on the Falcon and not on the CTPCI.
If they are on CTPCI, you can only use them on 060 mode ( obviously).
I had once, that the Falcon IDE was not loading AUTO, it was due to a flaky connection on my SCSI chain. I tap on my SCSI connections and it was working.
Make sure your SCSI stuff are not intermittent or just unplug your SCSI and try.

- holding the "V" key to boot into Videl mode doesn't seem to work sometimes (about 3 out of 10 times). Boots to PCI video regardless...
The V need to register during the CT60 Splash screen, that's the colourful screen you see briefly at boot up. Suppose to be for 2 seconds, but mine seems to be faster than that. Once that screen is gone, chances are it will not register. I found that if the key clicks is heard before the splash screen, it like for sure you can go to Videl mode, well, at least on both my Falcons.

- there's only one floppy drive in the machine, but the systems thinks it has two floppy drives. It's not just the usual logical drive "B". The system variable "_nflops" indicates 2 physical drives are present. I think I remember there was an small AUTO folder program to fix this? Otherwise I'd have to write something myself.
Been sometime I looked at systems variables,I have not looked at mine.
