Whoever invented the term master and slave in computerperipherals? For fucks sake there are a hundred better ways to describe it.
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.
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...."
So we are supposed to target the slaves?

To reset a dysfunctional system back to an ordered state, yes, that would be optimum
