There is a program called paradise that will allow transfer via parallel port, but I really couldn't tell you where you could find the cables. The Amiga Parallel port has a power line on it that the PC does not have, the ports are wired similarly, but still different enough to thoroughly trash some hardware if not connected correctly.
The transfer programs are here...
http://cpc464.back2roots.org/page09.htmThere is also a transfer program on here that claims to be able to get 19200 via the serial port, but I have no idea what kind of a system is necessary to make that work.
With serial, on an A500 w/1 Meg of RAM you can get at least 9600bps, with higher end systems you can transfer at faster speeds if you have the right program and serial driver.
