ABSTRACT:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a data modifying bus buffer generally includes a switch that is configured to selectively couple a first databus to a second databus. The switch is controlled by a buffer controller. The first databus and a second databus have a similar predetermined protocol. The buffer controller is operable to monitor the first databus for the presence of a particular sequence of the signals such that, when the particular sequence of the signals is found, the first switch may be selectively opened or closed.
