I just had TOS 1.4 intalled in my 1040 and now the ctl-alt-shift which keeps the hard drive from booting doesn't work. I have the Supra 3.00 driver software. Anyone else experienced the problem? Is it a TOS problem, a driver program problem, or a hardware (keyboard) problem? Bruce Nelson

I experienced the same symptom with my Supra 20 drive and have since
discovered that it is a feature of TOS 1.4 that prevents one from
booting off the internal floppy while the Supra autoboot feature is
installed. I just boot my ST first and then my hard drive and run the
Supboot program.

This will override the hard drive boot and boot off the floppy. This was also the same with TOS 1.2. It holds true for ICD software as well. (wonder if my .sig file will work)

The best signal to look at is the floppy; as soon as the floppy select light comes on, the keyboard is set up and ctl-alt-shift can be used. dgc

You have to wait until the floppy drive light flashes before you press the key combination. All goes well after that. I do have another problem. I just installed DC Showit in my Auto folder, and now I can't change to low resolution from the desktop. Is this a feature of DC Showit or an incompatibility between it and TOS 1.4?
