Is there a usb driver for OS X ?

Where can I get this driver?
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Jack,

The ProAIS2 software which may be downloaded from the AIS650's software update web page includes drivers for both Windows and OS X. The drivers are automatically installed as part of the ProAIS2 software installation.
where can I get any instructions on using the ProAIS2 driver for OS X?
What is it that you're trying to achieve?

Instructions on connecting the computer to the AIS350 are in the AIS's installation manual, and you can use the ProAIS2 software to monitor AIS reception, but for the USB connection to really be useful on your computer you'd need some software on the computer to receive, decode and display the AIS traffic data from the NMEA0183 format. I have never looked into Mac-compatible navigation software, but I know that OpenCPN is cross-platform and I'm pretty sure it decodes NMEA0183 AIS data. We don't make any computer-based navigation software any longer, we specialise in dedicated navigation displays as they're so much more robust.
Thanks for helping me.
You're welcome.
