I picked up a Velleman K8055 USB I/O card the other day and was a bit disappointed that the only software that came with it was a closed source Win32 DLL and a simple control panel for the board. So I don't have to boot into Windows to play with it I've produced a Mac OS X application that talks to the board. Here's what the board looks like:

And here's what the app looks like:

You can download the source here:

or if you prefer you can get the application built on OS 10.4 (but believed compatible with Panther and maybe Jaguar) here:

It doesn't actually do very much at the moment - you can turn the outputs on and off and see the inputs change state. If you'd like to write something more useful please feel free to grab the source and rip the guts out of it.
