So here's a question, particularly for POCs. Is "master" a problematic word when not juxtaposed with "slave"? My guess is not, because the word has a much broader meaning in English, but I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I really only think of master/slave in connotation with IDE drives. I’m trying to think of a good word combo for that, which is kind of useless anyway since it’s more or less a dead technology.
That's the worst one of them all, since they're literally just addresses. Primary/secondary or literally just slot 1/2 would work much better.

Yeah agreed! I actually took a look and apparently the PATA connected drives that are made now don’t use the master/slave terminology anymore. The manufacturers already settled on Primary & Secondary or Device 0 & Device 1. TIL!

Yeah this one is obsolete, used to be that the primary device actually did more and handled stuff for the secondary iirc but not since IDE?
