My copy of CSD works just fine under TOS 1.4.  It came with my version
3.0 update quite awhile ago.  The version of csd.prg as returned by
the MWC "version" utility is
	e:\src\csd\csd\1988\4\11\14\51

I did have the problem you describe, not with CSD but with DB, the
machine-level debugger.  I fixed it by patching the executable to
accept TOS 1.4, and it seems to work fine.  I don't know why it was
checking the TOS version in the first place.  Maybe they were just
being conservative about new versions of TOS for which the code had
not been tested.
