	I would seem that you bought the computer, with the ROMs, for your
personal use. Now, if you were to distribute the disassembly, you'd be out
of the arena of personal use, so that seems to be out entirely. However, you
bought the ROMs and therefore can do with them as you please (within the scope
of your personal use).

	I'm not a lawyer (nor am I studying to be one). This is just an
opinion.
