Graphics Transfer From PC to Amiga SCALA I.C.

Is there an easy way to upload an image to an Amiga InfoChannel player from a PC 
(without any special software on the PC)? I would like to be able to send up-to-date 
weather graphics to my player system that I collect from the Internet on my PC at home. 
These would change at various times, and I am particularly interested in doing this 
during hurricane season (I'm in the Bahamas).

Any pointers from anyone out there?

I'm afraid there isn't a way to upload new pictures to the InfoChannel
Player system from a PC.  Perhaps its possible to do so with another
serial, port, modem and term program that support auto download/upload.
Although I'm not sure how that would affect playback of the script
running.

If you have an external scsi interface on both machines there is an way to do it, but unless you know very well how to manipulate your hardware don't do it -- if you don't know what you are doing you could end up a couple of smokey machines.  If you confident let me know an I will scrounge up the directions.
