LW 3.5 vs 5.0 - much difference?

I have an 060 chip with no FPU (but with MMU). I'm thinking of trying LW 3.5 since it doesn't require FPU. It will hopefully help me learn the basics without using an emulator.

For a beginner, is there much difference in the fundamentals in 3.5 vs 5.0?

I would not think so except some conveniences, but nothing to worry about. Quite a few people seem to run that older version as well. I am currently running Imagine 3.0 even though their are later versions. It is part of the fun with all this digital archeology.

Thanks 🙏 I’ll give it a try. In fact, I’ve since found that WhatIFF? magazine has started covering LW3.5 too so good times ahead :) http://whatiff.info/
