Yes, yes - master/slave.

The schemes are similar. And if you recall my idea, which I developed in the previous
message.. on the topic of internal and external ports.. let’s say an internal hard drive
CF or 2.5' and quite naturally an external CD. If there are an abundance of ports, then you can
simultaneously write to both ports at once. Add. the register is already on the external CD. Again
It is necessary to study the standard diagrams in order to minimize modifications to the device.
