Those links probably work, but it isn't going to help you any... If you boot 1.3 on an A1200 you lose your IDE controller, and hence your hard drive.  WHDLoad won't be much good when you don't have a controller, let alone hard drive visible to your current configuration.  

AFAIK there is no way around this problem, other than to use an emulator or an A500/2000 with HD.

Uh, WHDLoad can and does use kickstart files. It will load those up (in this case, a 1.3 kick or somesuch) and redirect calls to the loaded kickrom.


But, then, just as if you had booted a real 1.3 rom, wouldn't you lose the HD?  It used to be this way, unless newer versions of WHDLoad have a way of "sandboxing" the disk images to run on one ROM, while the rest of your system runs on another??  (I'll admit, I haven't run WHDLoad in quite some time, so maybe newer versions have much better feature sets than previous versions!)
