Superdrive g4 12 swap from PowerBook g4 17

I have a no longer working powerbook g4 17" and I want to know if I can remove that superdrive and install it on my powerbook g4 12"

I don't see a problem with doing that. Here's how to do it: PowerBook G4 Aluminum 12" 1-1.5 GHz Optical Drive Replacement

They both use the 12.7 mm drives and they are Interchangeable. Use the connector from the original machine in case they are different lengths.

Are they the same size drive? and are the connections to the motherboard the same?
