The VS-1880 did not have computer integration and cannot be connected directly to a computer. These devices recorded in a proprietary audio format created by Roland and don't have WAV conversion functionality--to export your tracks as audio files to a computer.
However, a third party developer designed software years ago to convert VS CD backups into WAV files. You may download the software by clicking on the link below:
NOTE:
- Roland is not affiliated with the VS WAV Export software or it's designers. Please contact the software designers/developers directly for information regarding support and operational questions with this software.
Another option would be to pass audio into computer software in real-time using an audio interface. To accomplish this, you will connect the audio outputs of your VS recorder to the inputs of an audio interface. The QUAD-CAPTURE will allow you to pass a stereo audio signal into a computer digitally. However, if you need more tracks to be recorded at one time, the OCTA-CAPTURE will allow 8 channels to pass into your computer at once.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- The SCSI port on the back panel is for connecting an external CD, HDD or Zip drive and does not have computer integration functionality.
- There is not a USB or Firewire adapter available to connect the VS recorder to a computer.
