If you have the Mac OS 8.0, you can download the OS 8.1 update from the
Apple ftp sites....
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_8.1_Update/

You can download the iMac ROM Update 1.0 here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86047
Direct download of the ROM update:
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/MultiCountry/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_ROM/Mac_OS_ROM_Update_1.0.smi.bin
For the iMac I'll also recommend the CD update 2.0
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60458

Here you also get the link for the Apple ftp sites, where there are lots
and lots of old updates for nearly anything usable - sorted by language.
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/
And here is the main link to software prior to 1998:
http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html - especially,
if you're interested in old Macs...

Hope this can help you with your problems.
cheers, Erik Richard
