Abstract
An access detector detects an access type of an access to one of a plurality of serial ports interfacing to serial storage devices. The access is intended to one of a plurality of parallel channels interfacing to parallel storage devices via task file registers of the parallel channels. A mapping circuit maps the serial ports to the parallel channels. A state machine emulates a response from the one of the parallel channels based on the access type and the mapped serial ports.
