And that's a fairly hard thing to do with the timing. The network gets turned off, so you cannot use telnet. The can use other means, but they have to see it happen. And they haven't. I am not seeing it consistently either.

If using KOReader the behaviour will be different. They don't work the same way, so hopefully they don't have the same bugs.

I made a point of connecting my Sage while in Nickel, to see and accept the "scan this disk?" message, but of course doing so guaranteed that I did not get the "there's a problem" message from Windows
