Why'd you ask, though? The ROM isn't available for download now either, anyway, because it's illegal. Except for the OS, which TI will almost definitely take off their website.

Except for the OS, which TI will almost definitely take off their website.The ROM includes the following things:- OS pages- archive pages (160Kb on the TI-83+, 128 to 192Kb on the TI-73, 480Kb on the TI-84+, 1.5Mb on the TI-83+SE/84+SE)- certificate page (16Kb)- boot code page (16Kb)* We can easily rebuild the OS pages from a 73u/8xu update file, which are freely distributed.* We don't need the archive pages and may let them blank. They'll just have to be remormatted by doing a reset.So the only thing that is preventing us from distributing "working" ROMs, is a little 32Kb (certificate and boot).Ridiculous, isn't it ?
Well it depends in which country too. Some american TI sites got complaints from TI in the past for redistributing TI-83+ OSes, too.

Sadly, companies think they will lose billions of dollars due to emulation or they think $100-200 less in their pocket will ruin them.
