Obtaining a PalmOS ROM would be an exercise left up to the user. Methods of
obtaining would include:

-dumping a ROM off of a Palm device you own (legal)
-downloading a ROM from Palm, assuming you are an authorized Palm developer
(legal, but not easy for Joe User to do anymore)
-borrowing your friend's Palm, dumping the ROM (illegal)
-downloading a ROM from another site that isn't Palm (illegal)

If you, say, typed a phrase such as "Palm ROMs" into, say, google.com, you
might get some interesting results...
