Good luck finding it, > however. There's support for it in FreeBSD. 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. Matthew Orgass [email protected]
