I have a 30 year old Hitachi VFD that doesn't even have a display. Apparently it was an optional extra. Presumably programming was by some form of external device. I guess if it tells me to f off it will do so in complete silence and I will get to replace it with something more modern.

The Mitsubishi FR-Z024 drives fitted to the Boxford TCL160 lathe and VMC190 mills are the same, with just a power and alarm LED and certainly no way of displaying or changing the configuration onboard. There is an optional membrane keyboard and 7 segment LED display that plugs in that costs just £325 on Ebay I have one somewhere in my junk pile

It's the same with quite a few drives even today, the Schneider ones for instance have just a basic display a couple of switches and an optional plug in configurator. At least with quite a few modern drives from some manufacturers you get some degree of PC connectivity for configuration.
