Not scarce at all.

Often as little as $10 on e-bone, and some New-in-Box units are still 
floating around at electronics swap meats (sic).

It is the dongle which is scarce as hen's (wisdom) teeth.

Win95 is a go, but nothing after that.

Can't find a PPC upgrade adapter. I should be more
specific. This is a Centris 660AV that is being turned
into my main astronomy and video work machine (nothing
to intense, just basic stuff). The DOS software that's
to be run on it is actually Windows 95 (not really
DOS, obviously) with some lower end astronomical
software packages that I use that are not available
for the Mac. And due to an impending move, I can't add
another computer to my burgeoning collection (8, not
counting portables!). A Quadra 650 would have been
choice, but alas... whole 'nother 'puter there.
I am aware of some problems with  sound and DOS cards
in the AV machines due to the whole DSP arrangement;
not a biggie. 
Besides, at this point, it's all moot as the card is
now out of my possesion. 
By the way, thanks to those of you here who responded.
