The Corel NetWinder used to be particular popular in the late 1990s, but was discontinued during the bankruptcy of rebel.com in 2001. The other machine is the DEC (later Intel) EBSA285 evaluation board that was made in small numbers in 1997 for software developers. The footbridge/netwinder platform was the main target for the first Debian 2.0 "Hamm" release on the Arm architecture back in 1998, but was dropped in Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" in 2011, which only supported ARMv4T and higher with the EABI based ports as ARMv4 hardware had fallen already out of use by that time.
