Swapping screens between Powerbook Duo 230 and Duo 250

Anybody knows if the displays are interchangeable?
The 250 uses an active matrix screen, the 230 a passive matrix.

Talking about swapping the complete screen with housing and all, just wondering the connector on the mainboard is exactly the same, I would guess it is, as otherwise the machine totally identical.

I would not call it definitive... but these guys list the same screen for both :
FWIW, I would have bought one for £45 had they been in stock... sadly, they haven't been for a long time.
He does have other Duo bits in stock - nice guy too!
