As long as you're not extracting or trying to reverse-engineer the content
of the ROM, you should be fine. Some readers here might remember the
Outbound (?) laptops many years ago. These were the first real Macintosh
laptops, way before the first Macintosh Portable. The ROMs from those
computers were coming, IIRC, from Mac Plus ROM chips.

   who is out of gas?
