CF sockets usually can act as sockets for ATA/IDE compatible disk
drives as well as for PCMCIA-like peripheral cards.
Also, there are some Ethernet interface chips that are designed to
be memory-mapped. See, for example, the one by ASIX, which is often
used in embedded systems because it can interface with pretty much any CPU.
