Can I use European 3.1 ROMS in my US A1200?

[bubba]

I'm considering buying 3.1 ROMs for my A1200 from europe.  Does anyone know if there are US specific ROMs, or are all the ROMs the same?

On a similar note, are there different flavors of Amiga OS disks for different countries, or are all the Amiga OS disks the same (perhaps with different floppy labels).  

Thanks!

The KS3.1 roms (40.68) are the same. For pal/ntsc there is a jumper or trace on the motherboard that tells agnus/lisa which to initially to boot into.

Floppies should be identical world over, but I cant be sure of this in regards OS3.1 and the locale disk.

Hmm... Yeah, the ROMs are the same, for sure.  

Floppies... well, for 3.1 and above, I'm 99% sure they're the same, too.  (Well, there are actually quite a few small variations in OS3.1 depending on where it came from, but they should all work fine in both NTSC and PAL regions).  

The worst you might encounter would be the PAL resolutions coming up as default instead of NTSC.  (Booting to a PAL workbench instead of an NTSC one.)  This is a very easy fix with the ScreenMode preferences program.  (Or, if you can't see the screen, you could just boot with no startup and delete the ENVARC: screenmode-prefs file (I forget it's name) and that will cause the machine to default to whatever mode it runs through early startup in.
