You can buy them. Not sure how economical they are today but I've got two here.

The FPGA on the OxU950 boards were for the controller not PCMCIA glue logic. We were designing the controller.
The hard bit IMO is not the interfacing to an external peripheral of the era. Most interfaces are extremely simple, just wires. The hard bit is writing an AmigaOS driver. But this could be just because I've never done one.
Some people have done AmigaOS PCMCIA drivers
Neil Cafferkey wrote a
3c589 PCMCIA network card SANA2 driver and
Prism2 PCMCIA Wifi card SANA2 driver.
Some guy called Bruce Abbott wrote/contributed to the
NE2000 PCMCIA network card SANA2 driver.
But are SANA2 drivers easier to write than full AmigaOS drivers? Than say a Poseidon USB host driver?
