minimal SCSI device

I have a on-motherboard AIC-7880 controller using 50 pin connectors.
Different external devices are connected at different times. The
problem is, when no device is connected, the AIC-7880 waits longer than
I want trying to find a device, holding up bootup. Also, if no device
is found, or if the AIC-7880 is disabled in system BIOS without telling
Windows ME, Windows hangs on startup. The Windows "hardware profiles"
apparently do not apply to SCSI, as Windows will not remember a profile
which has the AIC-7880 disabled along with a profile in which it is
enabled.
My question for this group is: What minimal device can I find or build
that will keep the controller (and Windows) happy but do nothing?
There is no empty slot or even space for a regular size device, but I
can probably find 10 cm2. What low-cost chip would satisfy the
requirements for a "device" or which functions need to be implemented
in logic chips? It is not a problem if such a device lowers bus
performance.
