Right Answer is:
Master
SOLUTION
- When transferring data over the PCI BUS, the slave hold the address until the completion of the transfer to the slave.
- A PCI add-in card can either be a slave or a bus master.
- Peripherals tend to be bus slaves logical devices capable only of responding to a transfer request from a bus master device.
- The address is stored by the slave in a buffer and hence it is not required by the master to hold it.
