Linux on Pilz o215 hardware

Back a few years ago, I posted a question on trying to get a Linux kernel loaded on the Pilz o215 hardware. I remember some replies, but was busy and didn't get around to doing anything. Fast forward to today, and I dredged out the hardware and have renewed interest in trying to get this operational.
It is a nice little box that works on 24 vdc (quite portable) with sound and a couple of serial ports, It even has a USB port for peripherals and inbound.
I have a 5Gbyte PCMCIA card that would fit nicely to make this work, but as I really don't know how this thing even boots up (it currently displays a nice Pilz splash screen and goes onto [yuck] Windows CE).
If all it needed was a suitably formatted PCMCIA drive I would be most happy (I can dream, can't I?).
According to WinCE (yuck again) it has 50 Meg bytes of ram memory. I don't know what the ratio to ARM to x86 code is but it should be enough to get the job done.
Thanks for any pointers. I promise to be more interested this time.
