eBay is a good source for old Power Computing CDs. Here is one for OS 7.6 about to expire:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2087463395&category=171 I think they should be pretty interchangeable among models. Of course, the last OS released on Power Computing CDs is 8.0. But many people are quite content to run OS 7.6 or 8, so these CDs can be useful. Even if you want to run a later OS, for a modest investment you will at least have the benefit of 1) having a bootable CD and 2) having FWB CD-ROM Toolkit and FWB Hard Disk Toolkit, which you will likely need for the non-Apple drives in Power Computing machines. (Personally, if I were to buy current retail drive software, I would buy the Intech CD-DVD Speedtools and Intech Hard Disk Speedtools drivers, which are upgradeable for life, unlike FWB; I believe the Intech drivers are compatible with more CD drives, too. But I digress...)
