No.

if only. there's no interrupt available for the i386 to tell the ARM
when it's finished, so basically you need to busy-wait for it. Not to
mention that there's no information publically available to tell you
how to access the card, but I haven't approached Aleph-1 on the subject.
You can boot Linux on the PC card in RISC OS. I haven't finished writing
the driver that will let you access the hard disc/cd-rom/floppy yet,
but you can access the network and use an initrd.
