While the default interrupt for Hard Drives on Tandy 1000's is non-standard,
the 1000-TX, 1000-TL, and 1000SL (and I think the 1000SX) have jumpers on
their motherboards to allow selection of the IBM standard interrupt.  If
you have an older 1000, you will have to get a hard disk controller specified
as Tandy 1000 compatible.

The TX has one 16 bit AT style slot, and will accept a 16 bit Hard Drive 
controller.  Strangely enough, the TL has no such slot.

I have still yet to see a hard drive controller for either the 1000EX or
1000HX
