Some time ago I put together a large library of samples, programs, etc  
for the earlier Roland S-series samplers (S-50, S-550, S-330, W-30).  I  
still have a few copies around if anyone's interested:

index.php?menu=2&submenu=4&subsubmenu=2&page=7

There's also quite a bit of info on the W-30, which is a workstation  
variation of the S-50.  There is some degree of compatability of sample  
libraries.

Cheers,
Neil
