If found some at:

I believe someone on this list posted another recently. The PC Engines
solutions seem to be getting a lot of attention in the embedded and
router-on-diskette Linux crowds.

That they definitely do! Check out the CFDISK.5A - $12USD: "This version is
designed to plug directly onto an IDE header, using a right angle female
header. Power is supplied by a floppy power connector. The CF card extends
beyond the PCB, so this solution is not suitable for 1U chassis. Not
recommend for high vibration environments. No master / slave selection."
