    Just in case this newsgroup reaches Japan, is there anyone out there
(he/she would probably have to be an employee of Japan Radio) who knows what
kind of micro there is in JR's Apex/Max 6 Computer series of R/C equipment?
    I'm very pleased with the programmability of this system (I've got the
helicopter version), which allows an enormous number of parameters to be
configured very flexibly.  The LCD-based interface is very user-friendly,
and so simple that you don't need the operating manual after having gone
through it thoroughly once.  A great deal of complexity is hidden behind
those 4 little buttons!
    It'd be interesting to know the capabilities of the microprocessor
that JR uses.  Does anyone have any information on this?  Looking at the
picture in the review article in June/July Model Heicopter World, it's
a quad-in-line chip labelled JR 8724MX / MCZT8-086, and there's no ROM in
sight so it's probably a microcontroller with on-board mask-programmed ROM.
    Does anyone else on the net have this type of equipment?
