Yes, but one USB port can only deliver 500mA (maximum - most laptops only deliver 100mA!). Keep that im mind. So, don't tihnk about a LCD with backlight... I think the MB USBModule is supported under OSX. Should be OK. Why do you think, you will have to programm a EPROM? The MB USB module uses a EEPROM similar to the bankstick module which is programmed via the AN2131SC (which is programmed via USB). No special equipment needed. Raphael
