  Dumbfuck!  In an IDE channel there is ALWAYS a master, you stupid fuck.
The drive is where the controller is!

  You're a goddamned idiot.  In ALL IDE channels, one drive is the
channel's master, and the other drive, if and when present, is SLAVEd to
the first drive.

  You're a goddamned clueless fuck, and you are not even qualified to be
having this debate, punk.

  You're an idiot, and you're stupid as well, so you likely bought some
lame brand of drive that is a master, regardless of what the stupid
consumer brained installer (you) sets it to.
