Your dealer is on bad drugs.  There is only one official, released
version of TOS 1.4.  Any others are "beta-test" or "developer"
releases, and as such are not supported by Atari.  (Besides, the fact
that we came out with the final release after these implies that there
were things that needed fixing - do you want a (more) buggy version?)

The date in the OS header of the released version is 4/16/1989. You can
see the date if you dump four bytes of memory starting at $FC0018; the
date shows up as 04 16 19 89 in hex (for the right version).
