Dump the firmware off an Original Xbox Live Communicator straight from the console. The communicator contains a RISC-based micro-controller, which appears to use the V8-uRISC architecture. Public datasheets for the chipset indicate it has a 12KB programmable ROM. It appears a custom ROM was developed for the XBLC as it does not follow the standard USB Audio Class Specification.
