If it helps, I made an ATA interface for my Z80 single
board computer.
It uses five IC's (two 74374's, one 74245, one 74367, one 7432). It
can't support DMA as the high and low bytes of the 16-bit bus are at
different addresses, but it's easy to make.
Just about any CF card can be set to operate in 8 bit mode. Same
goes for Microdrives. So the circuitry can be very simple indeed if
all you are going to use are the CF cards.
