I'd be surprised if it takes any driver work.
I have one of the older Prologix units. It uses one of the FTDI USB to
serial chips. I doubt if they have changed anything as drastic as this.
I haven't used OS-X. There are 2 chips that have mostly cornered the market
on USB-to-serial adapters: FTDI and Prolific. I expect most OSes (and
distributions) include well debugged drivers for both.
