Its no longer Corel, but you can still buy the ARM Netwinder (now
called the 2100) from www.netwinder.net. As far as I know they are not
being manufactured, only selling off inventory of the ARM machines.
You'll want to format the hard drive and install a newer software
distro (probably debian...) on to it.

We have a bit of a collection on ftp.netwinder.org in pub/docs,
although it centers on the StrongARM110 and peripherals in the
netwinder... there are quite a few other ARM cores out there, with
varying features.
