OBD II Scanner for Mac Computer?

Hello everyone. I have a Palm handheld that I have converted to a OBD 2 scanner(www.auterraweb.com) and it works pretty well and does everything that I need most of the time but there are a few problems with my Palm. One, it kills batteries just as soon as I put them in. And of course, once your batteries die, you have to reload EVERYTHING into a Palm which is a PITA. And two, the Palm's aren't supported anymore(I can't blame them). I have had this for a little over 2 years and it has worked pretty well in the time I have had it. Anyways, I love using the OBD 2 scanner functions when something goes wrong(we are a family of Chevys so nothing ever goes wrong but I have a few Ford friends, comes in handy often with them) to diagnose vehicle problems but my Palm has alot of problems. I have searched for a few company's that have this same feature on computers but find that they are all for PC's. And that's where my problem is. We are a solid Mac family with only one PC that is a desktop model so taking it out to vehicles is a problem. I'm just wondering if anyone is using a OBD 2 scanner/adapter for the Mac computers and how well you like it? And where did you get it? Thanks
