My obsolete technology knowledge is rusty, but isn't he wrong here? You had two chains on ide, primary and secondary and within the chain you have master and slave, for a total of four possible drives

Primary master Primary slave Secondary master Secondary slave

If you wanted more drives, you'd have to go SCSI.

The jumpers didn't designate primary or secondary, the jumpers designated whether the drive was master or slave, if you selected the wrong designation, you'd have a conflict.

That's what made SATA so revolutionary, all the rules above were abolished and the possible number of drives was substantially increased.

I thought IDE just allowed two drives on a cable, where you had to designate one EVIL WHITE MASTER and the other NIGGER SLAVE or they'd conflict. But I didn't use PCs much then.

SATA is like the switch to having routers and a star network configuration, instead of a ring network. Each SATA port goes to one cable and one drive. Those big ribbon cables were a mess, and a source of failure due to all the connections they had to reliably make.

Yeah, you have it right, that's what I'm saying. Chain=cable.

You're both pretty much spot on. Generally there was two IDE controllers (which each provide one connector) per motherboard, and a master and slave drive for each controller.

SATA is definitely a step forward, but I've had more trouble with SATA cables and connectors than I ever had with IDE. Sure airflow is better, and cable management is so much nicer, but SATA cables have given me so much grief. With IDE you had two grades of cable: 40 pin and 80 pin, and you could tell the difference just based on the cable appearance. With SATA cables manufacturers cheaped out on early generation cables, so they ran poorly on newer drives. I've had SATA cables just stop working, the cable connector has just snapped, and I've even had the plastic tab from a SATA drive break off. Never had an IDE connector break to the point of unusability.

Using master/slave is correct Star Wars Kid has no idea of the history of this.

operating systems were booted off the master disc, anything else on the bus was a slave device

To move data at the speed required (because processors were actually slower than floppies back then), a special bus master circuit took over the whole bus, bypassed the CPU and wrote directly to RAM. You could only have one bus master active at any one time A bus arbitration scheme was used to decide which system attached to the bus was acting as a master, and there could be several of these potential bus masters.

The words primary and secondary are not applicable in a system of multiple master/slaves

Fat Cunt has clearly never seen anything older than a PC

If I remember correctly, you need a master to have a slave.

Can't have a slave without a master, doesn't work.

asynchronous equal nodes would work too, but they would need to operative cooperatively, that's best handled by using the most superior architecture available

Yeah, quite literally it is the master, and the others are slaves. They are physically wired to be slaves to the master. Why would he want to obscure this fact? If the terms can't be used to accurately describe this, then it means that niggers were never slaves, and jews were never their masters. He should rejoice.

I remember starting to watch this guy's videos a couple years ago. It started out innocently enough... no bullshit. Then I noticed he painted his nails. Okay, whatever... he's a weirdo but has OK content. Then he came out with a video with BLM and tranny stuff in the background. Commented what I thought of him and got my comment removed.

It's too bad because appreciating old tech is counter to the latest-trendy-garbage attitude. Like many nerds he's confused and hasn't examined those social things carefully.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

Well, he is a pansexual, with former boyfriends and girlfriends, and he has BLM and Homo logos in the background of his set often, so....

Whoever invented the term master and slave in computerperipherals? For fucks sake there are a hundred better ways to describe it.

[–] • 3 pts

What do you mean? They exactly fit and describe the relationship. They are industry standard words for decades in every aspect of the industry (software, hardware, ICs) because they accurately describe the relationship and function.

Even if other words exist to describe it, the fact one would have issue with the industry standard, in of itself, suggests heavy indoctrination and low intelligence. In other words, there exists no reason to have issue with the choice of words in any way, shape, or form, except where political indoctrination from leftists enters the room.

I have no idea how IDE works, but on many buses the master drives the clock, thus it controls when data is sent -- the whole pacing of the bus. Call it whatever you want, I guess.

[–] • 0 pt (edited )

no there aren't,

this is the simp discussion on it https://www.theserverside.com/opinion/Master-slave-terminology-alternatives-you-can-use-right-now

none of which understands that in electronics, master is applied to whatever system has command of a bus, everything else is a slave. This can then change when the master relinquishes control of the bus and a new master determined. Thus there is no primary/secondary because there can be more than two nodes on a bus.

In token systems you can have dual masters running the same slaves

If you try and insert dumb SJW bullshit into this it gets confusing, like when they fudged I3C into using controller/target instead, which conflicts with pre existing bus concepts like backplane system monitoring controllers and interface controllers, and also incorrectly suggests the direction of data flow is always towards a target

The Left never learnt their lesson over changing words, like kids used to be cripple, then invalid, then spastics, then disabled, then handicapped, then differently abled, now they are just "brave and stunning...."
