I would really like confirmation of this. The New Instrument Expansion Pack will NOT work, at all, on PPC? Seems strange as I didn't know there are Intel only RTAs plugins.

Structure and Strike seem to be working on PPC, Hybrid and Velvet definitely do not work on PPC, according to this thread:

My understanding is that Apple is the bad guy in that it hasn't released any new compilers for the past few years for the older non-Intel Macs. That software companies like Digidesign can't compile code for new programs for the older CPUs because of not having current compilers.
