Wrong! Atari has never completed or released a final TOS 1.4 on disk. If
you are using a version on Disk, then it is either a developer version that
is _way_ out of date or an authorized copy of TOS (which violates Atari's
copyright and is illegal!)

Do yourself a favor, go to your dealer and have the ROMs installed. It's
the best thing you can do for your ST.
