  Ratoc Systems makes the CFU1U (Cypress SL811HS chipset) that is an 8-bit
CF USB host controller.  I have an updated NetBSD driver, but the chip
does not support audio (isoc transfers can't work right).  The card is
expensive and the chip is buggy (meaning even slower than expected when
bugs are worked around).  I can finish the driver if anyone wants to use
it soon, but I would recommend staying away from it and get a hpcmips
system with ohci/uhci if you really want USB.
