I tried this already. I think the document says it supports this drive 
(Hitachi GST 100GB 5400RPM) but it looks like the firmware is too new--i.e. 
the HDAPS capable firmware would be a downgrade. I couldn't figure out how to 
do that or even if it was possible, so for now I've stopped hdapsd.

I'll have a look at that.
