In the example above, 1.0.M means the hard drive is attached to Adapter 1, Channel
0, and the drive is set to Master. The following is a list of all possible combinations:
Parallel ATA
0.0.M
Adapter 0, Channel 0, Master
0.0.S Adapter 0, Channel 0, Slave
0.1.M Adapter 0, Channel 1, Master
0.1.S Adapter 0, Channel 1, Slave
Serial ATA
1.0.M
Adapter 1, Channel 0, Master
1.1.M Adapter 1, Channel 1, Slave
Note: There is no such thing as Slave drive in Serial ATA. All drives are considered to
be Master since there is a one to one connection between the drive and the channel.
