All, I am trying to understand the complexities of swapping displays between various versions of the PowerBook Duo and could use some help.
I have a Duo 230 (passive matrix greyscale) with a bad on-board SCSI (I somehow trashed it during a hard drive swap.). I also have a good Duo 280 motherboard. It is my understanding that the 280 motherboard will not support the passive matrix display from the 230, correct? Now, I know where I can get a cheap "parts" Duo 250 (active matrix screen). If I were to buy it, could I: 1) Can I use the active matrix screen from the 250 with the 280 motherboard? If so, do I need any extra/different parts/cables? 2) Can I use the motherboard from the 250 with the 230 passive matrix screen? (My understanding is that this is possible, but I'm mostly interested in it from the standpoint of building a 230 out of the leftovers should option 1 be doable.)
