No problem!  Simply configure UAE to match the hardware specifications for a 1200.  Alternatively, this has already been done for you for a number of configurations -- just google for them.  I've got to run to work so I don't have time to look for them myself sorry -- but you can just configure UAE with AGA for example, and it will just do it.

There is nothing confusing. The version numbers must match. The AmigaOS consists of Kickstart ROM and Workbench floppies. So if you want to install OS3.1 you need Kick 3.1 and Workbench 3.1.

All Workbench versions with a lower version number can run on higher Kickstarts. With few limitations you can run higher versions of Workbench if the major version number matches (e.g. you can run WB3.1 on Kick 3.0).

Kick 3.1 was the last Kickstart ROM so Workbench 3.5 and 3.9 need Kick 3.1, too.

WB 3.9 is sold by all Amiga dealers. Choose one near you.
