I had a spare HDD but it was not on the compatibility list. After a lot of toying around, I managed to figure out a way to still get it to work. Here's my proof-of-concept demo video:

Don't attempt unless you don't care much about your ps2 or your hdd.

Hmm, nice I guess. I don't have a network adapter, but you could use a 2.5" Laptop hard drive I guess, by buying a 3.5" to 2.5" adapter on eBay.

You may want to buy a 2.5" external usb enclosure instead. That way you can use it as a ps2 and PC external drive.
