I do not have the ability to do a rom dump. I am willing to send them to anyone that can use them.
is this what you are looking for?

@NJRoadfan Did you see this thread? Looks like he has one LaserWriter board. Laserwriter 820-0131-B
$10 + shipping seems reasonable.

YES. Please image these disks. I don't think they are online at all.
I'm not the one looking for the ROMs, just the software.
I can take care of dumping them, I'm in silicon valley.
Original LaserWriters are problematic, the paper pick and separation rollers turn to goo.
@al kossow I'm also in the Bay Area. If you have issues imaging the disks, let me know. I have a flux imager we can try.
I was going to try reading the ROMs. I could take care of the floppies as well, but I suspect whoever has them knows how to use Disk Copy 4.2
I don't think any Mac system software disks were copy protected,
at least I've never run into any that couldn't be copied with DC42.
I know MDS is, which was licensed from Bill Duvall.
It would be nice if someone came up with a list of the problem children.
The earliest LW driver that I have is 2.0
It would also be a good thing to get resource and data fork hashes for
all of the files on those early disks.

seems like a feature Applesauce should have.
Just in case : i have dumped the ROM from the LaserWriter Pro 810 and i serahc to extract a PostScript File (i mean).
The ROM is here : down.dandu.be/ROMcostena.bin
Actually, there is an easter egg on the printer : it's possible to send a fax directly to a restaurant (La Costena) to command Burrito. And the text is on the printer ROM. I will try to exctract the file to try to print the file. I suppose it will be PostScript, but i'm not sure.

Did the ROMS @oldappleguy had get dumped? I am also in MI and have a couple EPROM programmers.
The MAME community, already used to dumping arcade game ROMs has multiple LaserWriter ROMs in their collection:
