Most people reported that you only must press “cancel” for a 8 times. Next time it won’t ask you. But there are other people which reported that this doesn’t function. This is not a bug in Windows: Windows sends SCSI device inquiry commands each time it starts to detect new hardware. Windows recognize the SCSI answer and wants to install drivers for the it. We wouldn’t have trouble with this if Emu Systems Inc. would provide a small dummy .INF file, which tells Windows to ignore the specific SCSI inquiry answer. We hope Emu finds the time to provide this small fix.
