could have a chip that looks for a certain sequence of bytes then changes some other bytes as a result… it would probably introduce massive latency though…

Hang on, I’m gonna add a suspicious new component onto a part that is incredibly expensive and heavily scrutinized specifically for speed and latency that will bit bash the I/o.
