Tapered fork in a 1 1/8" frame?

Is it possible? I've got a 2013 Cube Analog that I love, but really want to upgrade the XC28 100mm forks to something plusher and stiffer. The problem is, I can find loads of 29er forks in the 100mm range with a tapered steerer, but nothing with an old-school straight 1 1/8" steerer. Am I stuck with old forks, or is there a different type of headset I could fit along with a tapered fork?
Anyone else been in the same boat?
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy

Might be possible if you have a semi-integrated headset. Also, a quick google reveals plenty of 1 1/8" 29er forks, but maybe outside your budget.0

Thanks for the quick reply. I had found a cane creek headset that would work but change my head angle slightly.
Anyway, it just bit the bullet and bought a used Reba that fits the bill. Problem solved!0
