Original 2.0 ROM's are nearly impossible to find these days. But you
could buy a dead 130 and use its ROM, it is practically identical. I've
done this several times, and the only difference I found is that the 120
would claim to be a 130 from then on.
A dead 130 shouldn't be too difficult to find, these things die like flies.
Replacing the ROM is very easy. About two minutes if you know how
to do it, about five minutes if you don't.
Go to http://www.pda-soft.de/120_disassemble.html and scroll to the third

The rectangular thing below the red rectangle B is the ROM board. Just
rip out the old one and plug in the new one.
I really like your email address!
