What about "target"? In SCSI land, it's clear that a target is the device, and when you talk about code that runs on a computer and makes it be a SCSI target, everyone knows what you mean, right? So what about code that makes a computer a USB target? Would that work? That's the only thing I could think of that was similar. Does USB already use the term target for something else? -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
