Re: Lovely.

That wouldn't work on old IDE devices where Primary and Secondary names the channels each of which can have a Master and Slave disk, so there's a Primary Master, Primary Slave, Secondary Master, Secondary slave.

I bet the Linux kernel has code to talk to IDE, so I wonder what will happen there!
