Thank you very much really appreciate the link got 1 on its way. and now for my next question my amiga 1200 has n accelerator 1230/33mhz with 8 mb ram is this sufficient to run amiga 3.9?.

Yes it is.
I firstly used an Apollo 1230 with 8 meg a long time ago, and OS3.9 ran Ok.

Realy you need something a bit faster, but an 1230 will do.

Amiga power supply guide (http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/amiga_hacks/Amiga_Power_supplies/amiga_power_supplies.html) is nice (if you don't want to pay elbox for some rather simple hw).

... and if you haven't got a graphics card, there's little benefit to be had from upgrading from 3.1 IMHO...
