Even if there was, Tori didn't say which hardware she is using. The BeBox
has two PowerPC processors (I forgot which number) running at some 60 MHz,
I think. Most low-level stuff in Star Commander has been written in x86
assembly language. On the other hand, my prlink program is written in C,
with some optional (#ifdef) inline 68000 or 80x86 machine language code.

No, since the Mac doesn't have a PC-style printer port. On the Mac, the
only viable option is RS-232 or RS-422 (via a USB adapter on the newer
Macs). Luckily, RS-422 can be converted to RS-232 with a simple cable (no
electronics needed).
