In Spanish the word Master is bad translated as "Maestro" instead of "Amo"
or "Seqor". Maestro is a Teacher, so the real meaning came innadvertily
soft. In argentine slang, young people, (or in informal chat), call "Master"
to who is a winner,...(a future looser, in fact)

That's the good of my country. We produce 30 psycologist a year against 4
engineers. So we are more equiped to understand reallity, acept it, and
change its meaning than transform it. :)

Going back to the concept:
Does the HDD set it as Master, actually "gives" orders or commands to the
Slave?
Isn't the HDD controller who command both?

I think scsi priority is a better nomenclature.

I wonder how that translates into Russian :-) ? (or Spanish (Las ruedas
delanteras del handcart son el heck que entra justo ; -) ) or ....)

Maybe that could have been "The first ice crystals are forming on the Styx"*
:-)

Howabout

    Master / Servant

Would allow observance of this inanity with some hope of still remembering
what it was each did.
Hopefully the PC brigade won't catch up with the unacceptable evils of
servility for a few decades yet.
JK flip-flops would never again sound quite the same though.
