Question Accelerator Microrobotics model M1230 XA and OS 3.5/3.9

Hi Friends! I read about Blizard accelerators and that 3.1 kickstart can be emulade by something called MAPROM.
May I do something like this to emulate a 3.1 kick on my A1200 and so I can install OS 3.5 on my A1200?
How can I do it?

MAPROM does NOT emulate a Kickstart MAPROM copies the Kickstart into Fast-Ram for faster access, nothing else

But you can use a tool like SKick (find it on Aminet to Softkick a Kickstart 3.1 (if you got a Blizzard accellerator use BlizKick)

Thank you man
...I found out this program, BUT.. read below:
Short: Soft-kicker under OS 2.0 - new release
Uploader: Jean-François Fabre (jffabre@free.fr)
SKick is a program capable of soft-kicking any kickstart release
(1.2-1.3-2.0-3.0-3.1) into a 2.0 ROMed Amiga system. It does relocation and/or patches of kickstart images. Many relocation/patch tables included in the archive. Preferred use is on machines without MMU. This is the release 3.44, with reloc/patch tables for the 40.68 ks added

So, How can I use it on my A1200?
Remember, I HAve Standard 3.0 ROm, and my objective is to "emulate" the 3.1 rom or load it into fastRam as you said about Blizkick and MapRom, install the 3.9 OS and I DON'T have an Blizzard one , I have a Microrobotics model M1230 XA one with 16 MB.
REgards!

Simple

- extract the archiv to HD
- make a directory called KICKSTARTS in DEVS:
- copy all the kickstarts-dir from the archiv into the created KICKSTART dir (all those .RTB files and the others )
- copy a suitable Kickstart Rom into the KICKSTARTS dir in DEVS. (kick 3.1 of course)
- start SKick with the Icon on HD
- Klick on Kick 3.1 and have fun
