Those functions contain x86 instructions that write directly to
an I/O location on a PC, such as a parallel port. On the Mac,
you may have to talk to some parallel to USB adapter.

Does FLinker support the Visoly USB linker? If so, taking out
support for the PC parallel port will get it a step closer to
working. If not, you're stuck.

You'll probably have to figure out the USB linker's protocol.
(This is likely beyond your skill.)

Linux/x86 or Linux/PPC?
