So there's nothing else to access the slave part of your master/slave composite.
Unless it's going to access itself.

I've got this wireless hard drive with 2 USB ports...
One USB port is for plugging in a 'thumbdrive', it copies the contents onto the local drive (Host mode).
The other USB port is for plugging it into a PC, and making the box into an external drive (Slave mode).
Obviously, you can't do both at once (plug in a 'thumbdrive' and access it thru the wireless hard drive, like there's 2 drives). I suppose, in theory, if the firmware was written correctly, the thing could access itself, somehow, I guess. But that would almost need 2 seperate USB controllers.
