I know of a ISA card that can do both HOST and FUNCTION side http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/pip/ISP1161ABD.html
it is based on PHILIPS 1161 chip... the ISA card comes with linux driver... it is meant for embedded designer to evaluate that chip... it is about $500/board... ask their distributor (like avnet or arrow)...
