You can use The Communicator. This is a link from the CD32's Aux port to the Amiga and a CD-ROM
with a series of utilities on it...
Communicator
Display text and graphics on the CD32.
Play Audio and Video CDs.
Transfer files to and from the CD32.
Twin Express
Serial file transfer program, Amiga and PC versions.
Workbench
Modified to allow the joypad to be used as a mouse.
Photolite
Display Kodak Photo CDs.
Scala driver
Allows Scala, running on another Amiga, to control the CD32.
There are two versions available. The Communicator Lite doesn't have a keyboard through port or MIDI
in/out/thru.
There is a new version of The Communicator, with the original title of The Communicator 2.
Improvements to the previous version are...
Virtual CD
Appears to make more than one CD-ROM accessable to the host Amiga, also
stops resetting.
File Transfers
More reliable - Zmodem.
Faster - apparently it can reach up to 210000 baud.
More compatible - works better with ISO-9660 CDs.
AGA Viewer
View pictures and anims in any mode, including AGA.
Will also work for non-AGA machines.
Supports datatypes.
Workbench
A newer version (doesn't say which).
