Pioneer MPC-GX1 / MPC-LX100 / MPC-LX200 Preload software (and hardware) questions
Posted by: defor on 2023-05-19 07:18:22 While I've got both a GX1 and an LX100, I've got none of the official software load.. I do have the applications disc for a LX200 at least, but I'm wondering if anyone out there might have some details on the originally shipping configs: What OS did each ACTUALLY ship with, and was it on a custom Pioneer disc (since the apple cd-rom driver won't - out of the box - work with the drive) Can you provide a rundown of the software preloads? Did all the systems ship with the rebadged Apple Keyboard II and Mouse II, or did any COME WITH the MU1/KB1 and lastly- has anyone actually seen the hard glass mousepad, and/or might be able to get some photos and scans of it for reproduction? Thanks!

Thanks! I've only seen one style of Pioneer keyboard but there is precious little info out there about those systems. https://www.ebay.com/itm/166066721887 is the only style I have seen keyboard-wise doesn't mean there aren't others though. I do have a collection of software for Pioneer based clones but I haven't gotten around to seeing what's on them specifically.
