Please stop posting arbitrary incompatibility lists for TOS 1.4. Most of
the problems posted come from using a disk-based version of the TOS.
First, the disk-based version is a BETA version, with many bugs still in
it; second, the disk-based version takes up RAM and changes the location
where some poorly-written, non-portable games expect to find things in
your computer; finally, the disk-based version takes up about 200k, so
your big GDOS program (like DTP) may not be able to run correctly.
Even if you have the chip set for TOS 1.4, take everything off your
computer (QuickST, accessories, other auto programs, _everything_!),
do a _cold_ boot, and then try it again. There has been way too much
mis-information floating around about TOS 1.4.
