   When I was using a 1000-SideCar setup I used an "INSIDER" (the real one)
   to gain memory expansion and a MS-DOS XT hard drive controller to get
   hard drives on the system. Of course it didn't autoboot, but back then
   the 2000 didn't exist either. A friend is now using that set up with the
   Janus 2.0 software and its a real smooth system. Highly recommenred for
   those who have a 1000 & SideCar looking for expansion . . . .
