For FileMaker Pro 7 and 8: Yes, the plug-ins should run just fine (under Rosetta). For FileMaker Pro 9 and 8.5: Normally non-universal plug-ins don’t load with FileMaker 8.5/9 on an Intel-based Mac. However if you specifically turn on the Rosseta environment, it is also possible to load PowerPC only plug-ins. To run FileMaker Pro 9 or 8.5 under Rosetta: Select the FileMaker application icon in the Finder and Get-Info. Check the “Open using Rosetta” box. Now you can use all of the new 9 or 8.5 features, as well as your older plug-ins. Please note that applications runs considerably slower under Rosetta.
