Hey! Yes you can do it, though if all you have is a bare motherboard, you'll have some 'issues'. The 2300 motherboard was designed to be able to upgrade all previous models of duo (who would turn up the opportunity to get a 640x400 passive matrix b/w screen PowerPC machine?), so has internal connectors for all types of duo screens and both SCSI and IDE hard drives. The 'official' upgrade kit was the entire base of a 2300 and you'd move your hd and screen over. So if there are issues it will be with the heatsink/metal frame combo (different sized main processor chip) and with the trackball/trackpad connectors, and I don't know what the deal is there. What actual 2300 parts do you have? I'd say just start putting things together and see what happens. I think I have a PDF of the take-apart manual which I can email you if you like.
