Maybe that was a misnomer on my side. In Germany we always talk about
"primary" and "secondary" controllers when we mean the two IDE
connectors on standard mainboards. I think that's also how it's printed
on the mainboards themselves and in the manuals.
However, it's usually faster to copy from hda to hdc, than to copy from
hda to hdb.
