Guess you've read this two dozen times by now, but just in case:
I'm not sure NBU works with OS 1.3 Newtons. I dimly remember I used it to
backup my OS 1.3 Newton before doing the upgrade and to restore it after
doing so. Never tried the other direction.
I'd recommend to use the Newton Connection Utilities as this
was Apple's communication tool before OS 2 came.

What kind of cable are you using?

It is a hardware upgrade. You have to remove the back of the MP's case, pull
out a small printed circuit board and replace by a new one. No big deal, for
a detailed (german) pictured instruction of how to do this see

You'll have problems getting the ROM board anywhere. Your best chance would
probably be to buy a broken 120 that has the board.

If reading is all you want to do, this wouldn't require the os update, I
think.
