HP Laserjet 5P pcb

*looking for opinions with this board and manuals/diskettes*

A few years ago, someone was getting rid of a HP Laserjet 5P model which was in condition of breaking down, to a recycling electronics dump site. I took the printer, but before dropping printer off, I removed the circuit board in case it has roms that can be dumped. I also took the HP installation driver diskettes as well as the manuals.

I am looking over web site links, but only mention of rom is rom storing postscript
data which appears is not part of 5P, but in other Laserjet 5 models.

Aside from rom storing postscript data, is there some other rom needing to be dumped?
It is looking like maybe nothing on the circuit board for 5P model needing to be dumped
compared to other models.

The installation diskettes iirc are 3.5" HD format 1.44Mb

The items may be worth preserving in MAME? Or not? Or simply throw the manual and diskettes away if the laserjet printer hardware can't be emulated?
