First oldworld in the apple mac context generally means "has ppc CPU, PCI bus 
and macos in ROM". Newworld means "has ppc CPU, PCI bus and loads macos
ROM image from disk"

Those are all m68k based and thus not compatible with fai_ppc. 2.6 seems
to run on some them. Check the latest 2.6 tree or ask on the linux m68k
mailinglist.

This is an oldworld machine.

These are NUBUS PPC Mac. Ie they uses Nubus as it's expansion bus iso PCI
and is different enough to be incompatible with other mac PPC kernels.
There is some support for these machines at http://nubus-pmac.sourceforge.net/.

These 2 are both m68k based models.

The 4400/200 should be fai_ppc compatible.

Cheers,
