I've found .BIN files for the firmware, but no information on the actual
MCU used in these things.  Not even a datasheet.  My guess is that it's
probably an offshoot of a CH375 core.  But that's not a lot to go on.

Maybe it's a case of "you had to be there".

And yet, there does not appear to be a single copy anywhere
on the web.  Go figure.

Back in 2007, I wrote the vendor (Nanjing Yuheng Electronics Co.Ltd.),
about this:

https://web.archive.org/web/20071012042429/http://qhsfd.com/product.asp

They responded that the firmware was no longer available, as it had been
copied by too many other people.   Think of that--Chinese pirating
Chinese software.

At any rate, there it is.
