That's like asking how to get your VW Beetle to go 100 mph. Answer: get a 
faster car.

An older sampler is not going to read a newer samplers disks by itself. 
There are conversion softwares that can do that type of thing (such as the 
"NO CHOICE" Translator software), but both those are so old that none of 
them support that and it's unlikely that they will.

I have a program from ROLAND on a single floppy disk
which is called "SYS 505 Library Converter"which does
exactly what you are looking for. It converts
S-550/330
Sound Disks into S-50 Disks and allows creating your
own patches too.It's a little tricky but comes very
handy after a while.  The manual i have is in german
only but i am shure you can download it from ROLAND's
Archive site.
If you send me a self stamped/self adressed letter I
send you a copy of the disk.

Send it to the following address:
