TC-USB – TURBOchannel USB host option
Just in case, if anyone does not know that yet. NetBSD supports this, but not a graphical enviroment on Turbuchannel based systems :-(

Description:

TC-USB is a single-slot-width TURBOchannel USB host option based upon a Cypress (former ScanLogic) SL811HS USB 1.1 controller. It can be operated at typical TURBOchannel frequencies between 12.5 MHz and 25 MHz. A Lattice ispMACH 4000ZE family CPLD serves as glue logic for interfacing the 8-bit USB controller and 32-bit TURBOchannel. I/O read and write transactions and interrupts are supported. A basic option module ROM implemented in the CPLD compatible with TCF0 and TCF1 systems provides option information. The USB host port is an ESD-protected USB-A receptacle connector capable of sourcing 500 mA of current (limited) to devices.

Note that this USB controller does not perform DMA, so performance is limited. And I am not sure Felix Deichmann is planning to have more boards built - you had to be there when he was looking for interested people for the first batch of cards, about two years ago.
