Well, in the changelog of the embedded controller firmware (ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/1uhj07us.txt) there is:
- (New) Support for IBM Hard Disk Active Protection System.

I would conclude that the embedded controller is involved with the HDAPS!

Just my two cents.

OK, awesome. This gives us pretty much a where to go from now.

Should the IBM-ACPI project have anything to do with this? I mean, we should, or could be getting more -vvv information from ecdump or the fact that because this is attached to the embedded controller makes things harder?

Just to add a few more cents, googling around I found that Paul Sladen has already been looking for some info on the chip. Started to RE the windows driver, this kind of info _might_ be useful : Windows drivers read in 28-bytes via an IOCTL(0x733fc) on "\ShockMgr" . (See shockprf.sys)

PS: I don't know Paul Sladen's address and couldn't find it on his webpage. Hopping this email address will do it anyway.
