Maximum current on Diecimila's 3.3v supply

What is the maximum current on Diecimila's 3.3v supply? I need to draw 100-300mA, but it seems to fall short of even 100mA.

I notice from the schematic that the 3.3v line isn't part of the voltage regulator..

Hi, the datasheet for the FT232RL states a upper limit of ~50mA for powering external components from the 3.3V pin.
