Hello Klx300r,
How are you?

You can run any Kickstart together with the card.
On the one hand side the Card has its own "flashrom" which you can update, very easily with an Amiga CLI command to save the kickstart of your choice into it.
And in addition to this, you can use a CLI command to "maprom" a Kickstart of your choice.
This allows you to swap and run any Kick you want at run time.

So in other words you can run 3.1 or 3.2 or 1.3 on the card and swap between them.
There also a Software Tool called "ApolloBoot" that can be helpful here.
"ApolloBoot" is a OS-installhelper tool / BootMenu, that helps you to very easily install several Amiga OS alongside on a drive and will automatically load the matching kickstart to each install.
