The 5200/5260 at least are essentially Quadra 630's with a PPC accelerator.
The hardware map in Apples hardware docs for these is the same as the 630
with a PPC processor and a chip to translate between the 603/603e and the
mc68040 bus. I can't remember the url offhand but I recently found the
hardware documents for both machines on Apples web site
