Is it so hard to write your own program which would just read a file stream and send it to a port? Maybe also split it into smaller frames with CRC hashes attached.

CP/M was an OS for the 8080/Z80, which was limited to 64k of RAM. None of the tools that you know today would work in something that small. There was a C compiler for a dialect of C that met these constraints; I didn't have it, and I didn't know C at the time.

Depends: I wonder what programming tools/languages were present on the old PowerBook. Otherwise, getting any handwritten program or its associated tools/runtimes (if necessary) onto the laptop might be just as much of a challenge as getting audio data off.
