Thanks Dan, I talked to me friend (he is a registered developer) after
reading your reply to this post.  Aparrently he immediately backed up
THE FILES on his disk and tried to use the backup (which doesn't have
the active boot sector) to load TOS1.4.  When he went back and made
a sector by sector copy of the supplied disk TOS1.4 loaded and ran
without a hitch.

My question for you is will TOS 1.4 be available in ROM to owners
of 520's and 1040's as a retrograde upgrade?  If so, when?

Thanks,
