Q: I'd like to download a 68k and PPC emulator.  It seems as if downloading those ROM's is illegal.  How do I get them legally?

I'm trying to access the HDD from my Performa 6400 and view it's contents.  I need a PPC emulator and 8.6 (plus the necessary software) to do this.  I also have a Quadra 950 (running some version of system 7) that I would like to access as well.  Both compters are inoperable so I'm going to use a SCSI to USB adaptor to hook them up to my Mac Pro. 

 

I know that some variants of System 7 are on the apple site for download but how do I go about getting ROM's?  I know there is a way to rip them off of an older Mac but I don't have a lot of free time nor do I have the room in my tiny apartment for another computer.  Is Apple okay with people downloading them even if they're technically Apple intelelctual property?  Is there any way to get a ROM legally if I don't have access to a computer (both of mine are back in my hometown)

Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier
