Comar makes a nice AIS RX powered via USB. Don't know of any PCI devices. Go here:

and click on products, look at the AIS-2-USB.

Does anyone know if these products are usable with GpsNavX on Macs.
Thanks

Yes GPSNavX supports AIS receivers. Serial models (such as the SR161) can interface either via a Keyspan highspeed serial adapter or a Shipmodul Miniplex Lite. USB models do work, but they do need an OS X driver. Most will work with the Prolific or FTDI OS X driver. Tested USB AIS receivers include the SeaCas models..
