The MiniPlex Config tool is specifcially for the 41 and 42 series Multiplexers. The MiniPlex-Lite has no programable settings so a configuration tool is not needed. That being said, ALL the ShipModul Multiplexers are compatible with Mac OS X for Intel and PowerPC. The USB models use the FTDI driver.
If the instrumentation you plan to connect outputs Raymarine SeaTalk as opposed to NMEA you will need a 41 or 42 Multiplexer to handle the conversion of SeaTalk to NMEA.
On the otherhand, if you plan to connect an AIS unit you will need the MiniPlex-Lite as it can handle the high speed AIS NMEA connection.
