Anyone know what driver version is the latest without the new stupid
(a disk hogging) control-panel? Or in what version it first appeared?

To directly answer your question, you can use both control panels in all
current versions of Forceware drivers, you just have to look look for
the prompts and select "classic panel" instead of the new panel. The new
panels became optional standard with the 90's series.

What exactly do you mean by 'disk-hogging'? Do you mean to imply that
the software has a data footprint substantially larger than other
programs of it's nature?

While the international version of Forcewares is 60M, the single
language version is 40M, and the bulk of that is not installed. You can
delete the downloaded suite from storage when done installing, if you
have a very small HDD. If you have gigabytes of storage, 40M is
insignificant.

I've read many of your posts Lars-Erik, and you seem trapped in some
technological time-warp, where you insist that the hardware and software
limitations of the 1990's still exist today! It's just not true.

Files on your disk do not slow your PC down. Multiple hardware devices
supported by a suite do not slow the device down, Clear Type fixes
scaling issues, refresh rates do not matter on LCD's, etc. etc.

What happened Lars? Why has your computer-fu stalled at the turn of the
century? I mean, you post here often, you should at least be current!
