Right now I think we are sitting okay with money, I bought a test player and breihanj is taking care of the hard drive adapter.

There is a how to on disassembling the player at anythingbutipod.com. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask me, I've been able to get mine taken apart. I'm not sure what this would get you unless if you had an adapter for the drive.

I've experimented with this as well. The way I see it, the current firmware controls all communication with the computer. If you try plugging it in, the player automatically starts up and libmtp seems to be the only way that it is allowing it to talk to the computer. So I am not sure how we can work around this.
As soon as the hard drive adapter comes, breihanj will get us dumps of the hard drive in as many configurations as possible.
iSE:
Excellent, well I will await for you guys to produce some magic and help where I can. I may try opening up my player and seeing about the hard drive however, if we then have two test players with both of the hard drives that would certainly be an advantage don't you think? I'll update you as I have it, but right now I'm off to my gf's 21st!
Bagder:
Allow me to re-iterate a few facts:
1 - The Neuros OSD is based on what seems to be the same chip, and thus there is public code to check out.
2 - ArchOpen has code that runs and plays audio on at least one other DM320 -based player, so there is more public code to check out.
AFAIK, the ArchOpen guys start their stuff on a buffer overflow mostly so perhaps you could try that too.

I've been spending some time exploring the code from these other projects. There is a lot to go through.
