Mac OS X

I have used libusb drivers for it in the past.  Available here <http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi/index.php

You do a bit of setup work to find and put the part into GPIO mode  
then just write bytes to the device.

They have plenty of examples in source.

FTDI also delivers their own D2XX drivers, I have not really used them  
but they do work.

The FTDI drivers are also wrapped in python here <http://bleyer.org/pyusb/

That is how I plan on developing future devices.

Because I don't distribute the modules I use generic VID DID  
combinations.
