I have successfully booted a 5300ce off both an old ATA Flash PCMCIA card and a PC Card-to-Memory Stick adapter.
The CE, running 8.1, was an incredible machine. Up until the day it took a tumble off my desk, and now the screen is broken. xx( (Doesn't look broken, but the top 1/3 doesn't refresh unless I apply an unhealthy amount of torque, then it only refreshes while I'm holding it that way. The bottom 2/3 slowly fades to white over the course of half an hour or so unless I apply pressure in a certain location.)
