Unfortunately not, they fell victim to my move to the other side of the atlantic, but any MacOS from 7.6 up to 9.1will just work on the S900. You may need the CDROM Extension from 7.6 if you use a non-Apple CDROM ( like most S900s ) - I can mail you this though, it works fine under 9.1. Drivers for graphics cards aren't hard to find either, mine came with a Matrox Millennium - matrox.com still has everything you need, including flash utilities to program PCish cards with Mac firmware ( only for the Millennium I and II though ) - and the IMS TwinTurbo stuff was also still available half a year ago. ( I /think/ I have a copy of these too ).
As far as I know you only need the extra dual processor software for 7.6, 8.x and higher comes with native support.
The multiprocessor stuff was also available from Daystar at some point ( they developed it originally ) - shouldn't be hard to find either.

have fun
Michael
