Abstract
A SCSI selective options message delay expander includes a capability for monitoring messages transferred between a first port and a second port of the expander, for delaying a pre-selected message, for modifying the delayed pre-selected message, and for storing information obtained from the delayed pre-selected message. The ability to change messages allows the expander to be used with SCSI initiators and/or SCSI target devices that have SCSI characteristics different from the SCSI characteristics of the expander.
