Master and slave are really not master per se nor slave per se. Both  
are "peers" (have the same priority) but have different identities  
(logical unit 0 and logical unit 1, for example).

In the PCI card implementation of ATA, the two cables are divided up  
so that the drives appear as SCSI bus x, logical units 0 and 1, and  
logical units 2 and 3.
