As I have a PowerPC Mac I thought I'd run 'sudo lspci -vvvnnxxx' on it 
with the flash enabled and disabled (hold power button for a few seconds 
until it beeps to enable flash on this machine). Results attached, along 
with the contents of /proc/cpuinfo, which looks to me like a pretty good 
match for the machine type.
