I designed such a I2C monitor because I needed this to debug our quite big
radio systems. The interface does master / slave and monitoring functions
but with some limitations:

-The maximal message size for master / slave messages is 11 data bytes. This
is  due to the limited ramspace in the 87C654 controller that is in the
interface. 

-The monitor monitors the bus without halting the bus (not like the simple
I2C-monitor from Philips) - It works without problems with standard bitrates
up  to 100kHz. If there are problems (to many databytes) so that they can
not be  transferred to the PC there is a flag in the data stream showing
that the   buffer is full and that there could be missing data bytes after
this message.

Features:

- Interface with standard RS232 connection to a PC (286/10 or higher) 
  baudrate: 57600
- Works with PCF8584 from Philips
- Supports master / slave / monitor functions
- DOS-Software with disk-logging possibility.
    -telegrams can be defined to keys on PC-keyboard (master messages)
    -slave telegrams can be defined so that the interface reacts like a real
slave
    -telegram definition can be saved in a config file

As there is no manual available until now this is all I can say about it.
The interface works quite well and is in heavy use for system and software
debugging purposes.

I've wrote exactely what you want: http://www.boerde.de/~matthias/delphi
(check the settings of the preinstalled philipsinterface, I think its
wrong)
