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 . . . .
