I used a 2716, but you will probably need a 2764 for the ROM in
question. If you look at the four ROMs on the VT100 schematic you will
see that the chip select pins are different for each one. Mask ROMs can
be manufactured with any combination of chip select required whereas
EPROMs are fixed. This means that the four mask ROMs can be installed in
any order.
There should be a separate ROM on the board for the character generator.
The part number will be something like 23-018E2-00. It's usually
soldered in.
