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?
