I've got a European Model 100, and ran into this problem. I use a custom ROM in mine, called LibROM, and it works just fine. I didn't need to do any soldering, the ROM in my machine is socketed.
If you can find someone to burn it onto an EPROM for you, the code is here: https://sarahkmarr.com/retromodel100.html Note I'm assuming the Model 100 and 102 are similar enough for the ROMs to work in both, and I might be wrong here.
