I recently installed the new TOS 1.4 ROM chips.  Upon attempting to
use HDX.PRG I found it would not work.  It knows about drive 0 all right,
but never displays the partition dialog.  It just returns to menu level.
One other interesting item is that clicking on AHDI.PRG come back with
a ROM version error.  However, it seems to work OK.  This is the only problem
I have had with 1.4 so far.  Is HDX checking the ROM version?
I have tried three versions of HDX including 2.0 and the all fail.
I am using a straight 1040ST and SH204 drive.  I would appreciate a 
confirmation of this problem or comment from kbad@atari.  Thanks.
