though I don't have the pleasure of owning a G5 I was under the impression that it is a standard stereo line in mini phono plug

plain talk mikes are condenser (powered) microphones and their jacks are a little longer than standard mini phono.

best use a standard dynamic mic and set your audio in to mono - or get a USB microphone (and select USB as your audio in)

The socket doesn't seem to fit an Apple plaintalk microphone (semi-transparent case, think it came with a G4 originally) ... is this kind of mic just too old, or is there some special connector I was supposed to know about?

Any advice gratefully appreciated,
Tobes.
