The 250 monitor is B&W, like the 210/230, but is active matrix.
I wouldnt even try connecting a color monitor to a 210/230/250, but I think
the 210/230/250 monitor connectors are the same (this is heavily implied
from apple servie manual literature). Now, while it may _fit_, the 230 may
not be able to _drive_ the 250 monitor.
Another related point; the apple service manual states that when upgrading
a 250 to a 280, you dont replace the video unit, but only the cable. Food
for thought.
