If you're using a Mitutoyo digital caliper, Mitutoyo makes an input tool that requires no special drivers for OSX. I have used the PS/2 input tool with a USB adaptor with OSX, and it works fine for sending data to EXCEL. Apparently they now make a USB input tool, so no adaptor is necessary. The input cable can be found at paleotech.com. http://www.paleotech.com/Commercial/Input-Devices.cfm
