It isn't. "Master" and "slave" are misleading terms; the slave drive is in no way subsidiary to tme master. "Drive 0" and "Drive 1" would be better terms, as the two drives have equal status. Indeed, it's perfectly possible to have a slave with no master. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
