No. Not the pure firmware, and not in the format that fxload needs to upload
it to the device. These files coming from the windows drivers, and needed for
the midisport loader are:
   MidiSport 1x1: USB11LDR.SYS
   MidiSport 2x2: USB22LDR.SYS
   MidiSport 4x4: USB44LDR.SYS
   MidiSport 8x8: USB88LDR.SYS
   Keystation/Oxygen: UKS11LDR.SYS

The windows SYS files are PE format files. The extractor program finds the
binary firmware inside the SYS files, and converts it to the IHX
(http://www.cs.net/lucid/intel.htm) text format needed by the program
'fxload' (the same program that you already use to upload the ezusbmidi
firmware).

You have the sources of the extractor here:

Pedro
