(By "ID" I meant the x10 ID mask of the x1F6 Device/Head port.) > Master and Slave isn't used in the ATA-x or ATA/ATAPI-x standards. From: http://www.t13.org/project/d1321r3.pdf ... 29 February 2000 ... A.3 Unitized connectors ... C-D - Slave E-F - Master ... Figure A.10 - Unitized connector ... I imagine ways like that of mentioning Master and Slave appear prominent to the people who work with the people who manufacture labels to explain how the jumpers work. Also I wonder if I'm wrong to think d1321r3.pdf was the last single-volume standard we published. I imagine our last single-volume standard will endure longer than old standards usually do, just as t10 SCSI 2 lasted annoyingly long into the SCSI 3 days for the same reason. Pat LaVarre
