Booting from the pcmcia

I was wondering if it is possible to boot an X60 from the pcmcia slot. I wanted to run a microdrive from a pcmcia to compact flash converter, and I wanted to evaluate if it is possible to boot from this setup.
Anyone give this a try?

X60/s BIOS doesn't support PC card slot as a boot device.

Are you positive about this? Did previous models allow you to? I have successfully booted of the PCMCIA adapter on older Thinkpads... T2x etc... (Once from a pcmcia-ide cd adapter and also from a ~30MB old-school pcmcia hard disk)
