Master/Slave or cable select?

Which do you use when slapping in a couple of optical drives?

It depends. Some motherboards do not like Cable Select. Hence, Master/Slave.

Slaves can be any race or gender. For example, we will ALL be slaves in the year 2047 when the Earth is invaded and we are put to work in the Shalinian Salt Mines.

I'd laugh, except a city (LA iirc) actually went forward with outlawing this terminology in it's government offices.
